eVTOL & urban air mobility
Two companies are teaming up to build India's first flying taxi prototype over the next two years. People who invest in technology and aviation are watching this to see if flying cars become a real business.
What changed
Tata Elxsi and Sarla Aviation signed an MoU to co-develop India's first eVTOL aircraft, Shunya.
Who wins / who loses
Engineering and aerospace software providers benefit from advanced air mobility R&D, while traditional local transport networks face long-term disruption risks.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few months.
Confidence & best fit
