Urban air mobility is emerging as a cost-effective alternative to ground transportation. This study explores the impact of design missions, propulsion arrangements, and technological improvements on the short- and mid-term capabilities of multiple electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft configurations through an in-house developed tool for sizing and analysis.
