Developing — prototypes scaling toward deployment
Why it matters
They promise fast, low-emission point-to-point travel over congested cities and a new layer of mobility.
Where it stands
Many prototypes are flying and seeking certification; battery energy density, noise, and air-traffic integration are the hurdles.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Autonomy & Robotics center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at evtol aircraft: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
