eVTOLs and eSTOLs Could Reshape Private Aviation
Joby, Lilium, and Electra are all making their case at NBAA-BACE 2024
Electra's eSTOL aircraft
Companies including Surf Air Mobility have signed up to operate Electra's eSTOL aircraft.

Imagine if you could move the boundaries of private aviation lift beyond where current fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters can operate. Also imagine if direct carbon emissions from flights could be significantly reduced or virtually eliminated.

That’s what distributed electric propulsion is expected to make possible, and three prime examples can be found this week at NBAA-BACE 2024 in the shape of eVTOL vehicles being developed by Joby Aviation and Lilium, as well as a hybrid-electric STOL design from Electra.
