What is eVTOL?
eVTOL means electric vertical takeoff and landing — aircraft that can take off and land vertically using electric propulsion, then typically transition to efficient forward flight. The term is common in advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air taxi discussions.
Not every air-taxi-adjacent program is eVTOL. Hybrid-electric VTOL, eSTOL (short takeoff and landing), flying cars, and conventional helicopter taxis appear in the same market conversation but use different propulsion or takeoff profiles. AirTaxi Landing chips label those distinctions from sourced company data.
Certification (for example FAA, EASA, CAAC, JCAB) is program-specific and often multi-year. We only show certification chips when a source supports the label — we do not invent cert status.
