Porsche Seeking Urban Aerial
Mobility Solution
In an interview with the German magazine “Automobilwoche”in
March, the sales director of Porsche Detlev von Platen claimed
that the company is seeking an aerial mobility solution for urban
transportation. von Platen said ““It would take three and a half minutes
to fly the plane,” referring to how long it would take him to
fly a passenger drone from Porsche’s Zuffenhausen manufacturing
plant to Stuttgart Airport. A typical drive would take him “at least
half an hour.” Meanwhile, Porsche’s mother company VW group
has worked with Airbus on a modular eVTOL design called Pop.Up

In March Embraer launched a self-service eVTOL design website.
Visitors can use the simply interface to design their own customarized
eVTOL aircraft after defining the usage scenario and selecting
a series of options such as the number of passengers, if wings
or rotors are preferred, tilt wings or tilt rotors and so on. This effort
is the first substantial work that Embraer has done since becoming
the partner of Uber’s Elevate program last year. Embraer has not yet
disclosed their eVTOL design in details. You can try out the eVTOL
design at: https://embraer.com/embraerx/evtol-configurator/
