Problem
Urban commuters lose 56 to 102 hours per year sitting in traffic, while transportation accounts for 29% of US greenhouse gas emissions. Existing eVTOL competitors compound the problem with three core failures:
- Noise pollution: Exposed propellers generate 80-100 dB, making current eVTOLs unsuitable for residential areas.
- Safety concerns: Exposed rotors pose significant risks to passengers and the public, and current designs lack adequate redundancy for emergencies.
- Prohibitive costs: Competitor vehicles cost several million dollars each, restricting access to the ultra-wealthy, and their manufacturing methods prevent mass production.
