Honda is joining the ranks of aerospace and auto manufacturers targeting the advanced air mobility eVTOL market, with its Honda R&D Co. spearheading this research project. The company acknowledged the growing eVTOL field—involving a myriad of aerospace companies and tech startups, along with Toyota and Hyundai—but believes it can differentiate with the use of a gas turbine hybrid power unit that will provide a longer range and support intercity transportation—up to 249 miles, in fact.
