Personal eVTOLs
While most eVTOL companies are focused on making high-volume air taxis for cheap, fast public transport, others are building smaller aircraft for personal ownership and use. These personal eVTOLs are typically single- or two-seat machines of relatively simple design, focused on practicality, fun and easy storage in a garage.

EDAG Group has a long history of creating some of the wildest vehicle concepts out there, including a pop-up sports car camper. Now it's jumping into the next generation of mobility, building the structure for the production AIR One short-hop eVTOL. -
A jet-powered "speeder bike" flying through the forest on May the 4th? We speculate on the Volonaut Airbike, question the wild claims, and crunch the numbers to see if it's legit – or just really cool VFX. Spoiler alert: we want it to be real. -
AltoVolo is aiming high with its foray into eVTOLs. It plans to offer a personal hybrid-electric aircraft that will deliver 510 miles of range, and hit cruise speeds up of to 220 mph – while making 80% less noise than a helicopter. -
One of the most fascinating aircraft in the eVTOL space has moved into flight testing with a new large-scale prototype. Cyclotech's Blackbird airframe becomes the world's first aircraft to fly with six barrel-shaped "Cyclorotors" for propulsion. -
Described as a "formula one racing car for the sky," the Jetson One is an electric-powered VTOL sky toy that can hover, bank, and reach speeds of up to 63 mph. The company's latest video will leave you wanting it more than ever. -
While Australia's Airspeeder is yet to race its sporty eVTOLs with pilots at the controls, Jetson's founder and CTO Tomasz Patan has taken its One flyer to the air for what's been billed as the birth of the world's first eVTOL air racing. -
Austrian flying vehicle tech company CycloTech is building an eVTOL demonstrator to showcase its CycloRotor-powered propulsion system for electric flight. The firm is hoping to commence test flights in early 2025. -
Jetson Founder Tomasz Patan is clearly getting very comfortable with the Jetson One eVTOL's flight control system ... Watch him wrench the controls around to show off how sharply – and safely – this thing can handle tight turns in flight. -
Czech company UDX is flying scale prototypes of a tandem 2-up eVTOL it calls Airwolf. With individually-tilting ducted fan propulsion, it's got enough wing surface for efficient cruise flight as well as agile movement from a hover. -
Personal flight is currently undergoing a renaissance thanks to the rapid advancement of so many requisite industrial technologies. The next phase is poised to begin and the production version of this aircraft could well mark the occasion in history. -
One of the most outrageous sci-fi vehicles we've ever seen is moving toward a 2025 debut. This electric six-wheel off-roader can stop and deploy a two-seat eVTOL aircraft, for unstoppable multi-mode adventure travel on an entirely new level. -
After making its first manned eVTOL flight last June, Florida's Doroni Aerospace has announced its next model. The H1X rocks coaxial ducted fans and pusher props, and targets 120 mph (200 km/h) cruise speeds for up to 40 minutes.
