OEM OVERVIEW OEMS BY CLASSIFICATION OEM'S MAIN MODEL BY CONFIGURATION Racing (1, 6%) Passenger eVTOL (7, 41%) Lift + Cruise (5, 30%) Aerospace/Aviation (2, 12%) Automobile (2, 12%) Multicopter (6, 35%) UAV (5, 29%) Vectored Thrust (6, 35%) The South Korean government funds the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), which works on a variety of projects, including those involving rockets, helicopters, satellites, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and lunar exploration. Prior to embarking on passenger eVTOL projects, both KARI and MuYu had already constructed aircraft, showcasing their expertise in aviation. It is worth noting that Alauda stands out as the only OEM dedicated solely to racing aerial vehicles, highlighting its niche specialization in this exciting field. EVTOLs are typically classified into three categories: Multicopter, Lift + Cruise, and Vectored Thrust. Within the Asia-Pacific region, most OEMs are actively engaged in the development of at least one production passenger eVTOL model. However, there are a few OEMs that are working on two or even three models concurrently. that the models are evenly distributed across the three categories of Multicopter, Lift + Cruise, and Vectored Thrust, highlighting the diverse range of approaches being pursued within the Asia-Pacific region. All OEMs covered in this section are working to create eVTOLs that are entirely electric, and battery powered; however, there is one exception—AMSL Aero. AMSL Aero is charting a different course by planning to concentrate on hydrogen-powered eVTOLs. Its target range for these hydrogen-powered aircraft is 1,000 kilometers. For most of the eVTOLs in this section, the targeted range falls within the range of 10 kilometers to 300 kilometers. There are a couple of outliers, such as Volant Aerotech's VE25, which utilizes a third-generation battery and aims for a range of 400 kilometers. MuYu Aero's EV-4, on the other hand, targets a maximum range of 800 kilometers. EHang, for example, is focusing on the development of both a Multicopter and a Lift + Cruise model. However, the emphasis is leaning towards its Multicopter EH216, which has made significant progress in its certification push, which is almost 90% at the time of writing. MuYu Aero is conducting tests on a full-scale Lift + Cruise eVTOL demonstrator as well as a 1/5 scale Vectored Thrust demonstrator. This demonstrates its commitment to exploring multiple eVTOL configurations. ZEROG has outlined its plan to develop eVTOLs in three different configurations. Notably, its Multicopter model has already reached the full-scale prototype stage. The accompanying diagram illustrates the eVTOL model that has made the most substantial progress for each OEM. It is worth noting Interestingly, the range does not seem to have a direct correlation with eVTOL configurations, except for Multicopters, which have a disclosed range of around 10 to 30 kilometers. However, there appears to be a relationship between the range and the number of seats in Lift and Cruise aircraft and Vectored Thrust vehicles. Those with a single seat have an average range of about 170 kilometers, while the five-seater models (excluding Vertiia, which employs hydrogen power) have an average targeted range of 264 kilometers. The Vectored Thrust configuration has an average speed of 279 kilometers per hour, higher than the average speed for Lift and Cruise of 202 kilometers per hour and 95 kilometers per hour for Multicopters. As a racing eVTOL, Alauda Aeronautics’ Airspeeder Mk4 has the highest targeted speed of 360 kilometers per hour. 6 | 1H 2023 ASIA-PACIFIC AAM REPORT
