Why eVTOLs could be providing regional air service sooner than you think

At Uber's Elevate summit in Washington, DC earlier this month, researchers, industry leaders and engineers gathered to celebrate the approaching advent of on-demand air service. For Dr. Anita Sengupta, co-founder and Chief Product Office at Detroit's Airspace Experience Technologies (abbreviated ASX), it was an event full of validation of her company's specific approach to making electric vertical take-off and landing craft a working, commercially viable reality. ASX's eVTOL design is a tilt-wing design, which is distinct from the tilt-rotor design you might see on some of the splashier concept vehicles in the category.
