Executive Summary
Batteries have finally reached the energy density required for short-haul flight. eVTOLs promise quiet, zero-emission urban transport, bypassing traffic entirely.
Distributed Electric Propulsion
Unlike helicopters with one complex rotor, eVTOLs use multiple simple electric motors. This provides redundancy (safety) and allows for novel aerodynamic designs. Joby Aviation and Archer are leading the certification race with the FAA. The "EV" industry is going 3D.
Vertiport Infrastructure
eVTOLs need places to land and charge. These "Vertiports" require massive power connections (Megawatt scale) to turn aircraft around quickly. Commercial real estate rooftops are being transformed into energy hubs. EV.NET is the logical index for this new class of charging infrastructure.
Battery Swapping vs Charging
Given the weight sensitivity of flight, some operators are looking at battery swapping to minimize turnaround time. Managing the logistics of these aviation-grade packs is a high-stakes data challenge.
Own the Digital Infrastructure
As the market for Aviation matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
