The dawn of battery-powered urban flight | Challengers

Electric engine, nearly silent, and ready for passengers by 2025 – Archer’s eVTOL could revolutionize urban transportation. But are we ready? Subscribe to Freethink on YouTube ► https://freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe Watch the Future of Cities playlist ►    • Future of Cities   The next major advancement in urban transportation is likely to be flying taxis, more technically known as eVTOLs: electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. One company aiming to be on the forefront of that revolution is ‪@ArcherAviation‬. The California-based company is currently developing an all-electric, rotor-based eVTOL called Maker, the final version of which aims to carry four passengers and one pilot at an affordable price. Think ridesharing, but in the sky. By 2030, Archer hopes to deploy 6,000 aircraft across the U.S. in a way that’s sustainable, affordable, and quieter than conventional aircraft. 1:15 Electric engine revolution 2:21 The prototype 3:37 Flight test 4:52 Takeoff 8:39 The battery paradox 10:00 Flight simulator 10:53 Vertiports 12:11 Sound pollution 12:54 Cost 13:19 The eVTOL race Watch on Freethink.com ► https://www.freethink.com/series/chal... ◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠◠ Read more of our stories on urban transportation: The world’s first airport for flying cars and drones has just landed ► https://www.freethink.com/hard-tech/a...
