eVTOLs: time for Asian militaries to take a closer look?

Abstract

Commercial deployment of eVTOL aircraft is expected to commence in the next few years though it will be some time before we see high-volume eVTOL operations in urban environments. Such vehicles are expected to serve a number of niche, low-volume use cases in the initial years, including as a premium transportation service, for B2B logistics and for emergency response. As commercial deployment begins, it is an opportune time for Asian militaries to consider how they can tap on the technology.
