European eVTOL Projects Europe didn’t bet on one eVTOL design… It tried everything. 🇪🇺 Different visions, same goal • Volocopter 🇩🇪 🚁 Multirotor → Simple, safe, city-focused • Vertical Aerospace 🇬🇧 ✈️ Wing + tilt motors → High range, more aircraft-like • Ascendance 🇫🇷 🔋 Hybrid-electric → Reducing battery limitations • Lilium 🇩🇪 ⚡ Jet-powered → High-speed, regional vision • Airbus 🇪🇺 🏭 Industrial approach → Structured, certification-focused • Zuri 🛫 Hybrid VTOL → Regional range beyond typical eVTOLs ⚠️ Reality check Not all visions survive. 👉 Lilium is already out 👉 Airbus project has been suspended And others are still facing: Certification Funding Real-world operations 🔍 What’s next? In the next post, we’ll dive deeper into Lilium 👇 What made it unique… and what went wrong. 💬 Which approach do you think has the best chance in Europe?
