Dozens of firms are working on electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, popularly called flying cars, hoping they will take flight this decade.

The electric vertical take-off and landing market could be worth $1 trillion by 2040, according to JPMorgan.

Proponents of the aircraft see them as viable alternatives to travel in urban environments or between close by cities. It was my first up-close encounter with an electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle, popularly known as flying cars or air taxis. As the name suggests, these aircrafts are all electric and take off and land vertically, rather than requiring a long runway, as do commercial planes.
