1 Research Scope & BIS Methodology 

1.1 Scope of the Report 

This report is intended to be a comprehensive study of the global fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market. The 

existing report focuses largely on providing market information for different fixed-wing VTOL aircraft, 

covering types, end-users and region. In addition to this, it focuses on the major driving forces, challenges, 

and growth opportunities of the global fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market. The major players have been 

identified on the basis of revenue generation pertaining to the global fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market, 

their geographical presence, and company developments related to fixed-wing VTOL aircraft. A detailed 

company profiling has been done in order to understand the players’ strategic behaviour. The global 

fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market has been further explained and analyzed on the basis of geography. 

Geography has been categorized into four regions, namely: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest 

of the World. Moreover, the country analysis has also been done in order to provide a clear picture of 

the global fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market. Various forms of regional developments experienced by the 

manufacturers and undertaken by the various governments are some of the factors based on which the 

countries’ growth rate have been calculated. 

1.2 Global Fixed-Wing VTOL Aircraft Market Research Methodology 

The research methodology design adopted for this specific study includes a mix of data collected from 

the primary and secondary sources. The report was developed by exhaustively using both the primary 

sources (in-house experts, industry leaders and market players) and the secondary sources (a host of 

paid and unpaid databases) along with the analytical tools to build our forecast and predictive models. 

Primary Data Sources 

The primary sources involve the industry experts from the global fixed-wing VTOL aircraft market industry 

including the suppliers, device manufacturers, and distributors, among others. Resources such as CEOs, 

vice presidents, marketing director, and technology & innovation directors, among others have been 

interviewed to obtain and verify both the qualitative and the quantitative aspects of this research study. 

The research includes interviews with the participants throughout the value chain. Besides, an online 

survey, from the participants, was conducted to understand the demand from manufacturers and other 

stakeholders in the market. An extensive questionnaire was shared to get insights from the experts who 

didn’t participate in the discussions. In some cases, where information was not available, Delphi method 

was used to arrive at mutual consent with the BIS Consultants. 

The key data points taken from the primary sources include: 

• Validation and triangulation of all the numbers and graphs 

• Validation of report’s segmentation and key qualitative findings 

• Understanding the competitive landscape 

• Current and proposed production values of a particular product by market players 


• Validation of the numbers of the various markets for market type 

• Percentage split of individual markets for geographical analysis 

Secondary Data Sources 

The research study involves the usage of extensive secondary sources such as databases, company 

websites, and annual reports, among others. 

The following figure exhibits the key secondary data sources considered: 

Data Triangulation 

This research study involves the usage of extensive secondary sources, directories, company websites, 

and annual reports. It also makes use of the databases such as hoovers, bloomberg, business-week, 

factiva, and one-source, to collect useful and effective information for an extensive, technical, marketoriented, 

and commercial study of the global photonic crystals market. 

The process of market engineering involves the calculation of the market statistics, market size estimation, 

market forecast, market crackdown, and data triangulation (the methodology for these quantitative data 

processes is explained in the further sections). An extensive primary research study was undertaken 

to gather the information, and authenticate the critical numbers derived through segmentation types, 

industry trends, and the key players of each type of products in the market.
