Look, a flying car! No, it’s not a joke, in fact Toyota, Stellantis, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz are moving into the eVTOL market to create real vertical take-off and landing aircraft that would change the world of vehicles of the future
It seems crazy, but in the end it’s really about to happen: theflying carall this thanks to the giants of the car market such as Toyota, Stellants, Hyundai e Mercedes-Benz they are working hard and invested in start up to make eVTOLs common. These are gods vertical take-off and landing aircraft which could easily be produced by thousands of factories and sold on the market. These flying cars would lead road users away from traffic, spending between 20/30% more compared to a trip with Uber Blackaccording to what a top manager of Hyundai. The Korean car manufacturer has a control dedicated to this type of vehicle, Supernalwhich presented the velivolo S-A2.
The flying car exists and will come
Other car manufacturers like Stellantis have bought the shares of a player in the sector, Archer Aviation. Others like Honda developing its own eVTOLs. This sector, therefore, will grow exponentially in the coming years. The union between the corporate culture of aircraft manufacturers and that of car manufacturers would lead to the creation of a new mobility, provided that the regulatory issues on the control of this type of traffic are resolved shortly. L’S-A2 the Supernalfor example, is an aircraft capable of accommodating a pilot and four passengers, traveling a 193 km/h for journeys of 45 to 60 km and a height of 500 metersmuch lower than front-line aircraft.
The Toyotainstead, collaborated with Joby Aviationin which it invested 400 million dollars helping the company start the production of eVTOLs following the dictates of kaizen philosophy. Toyota will also supply key components for Joby’s aircraft engines and their production will begin in 2025. StellarInstead, is helping Archer Aviation define production lines. They are expected to be operational by mid-2024 and are expected to produce 650 aircraft per year. Mercedes-Benz instead it invests 30 million dollars in Volocopter since 2017. We will find out over time if the world of vehicles will really change.
