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.
