In other cases, the ‘soon’ is still open-ended. Yet, there are currently assumptions and speculations all over. Throwing around development numbers that go in the billions, which creates a phenomenon comparable to a gold rush. And every opportunist wants to be part of it. Hundreds of eVTOL concepts.
