5、n.Free from reliance on runways and offering quieter,cleaner operations,eVTOLs are widely seen as the technological foundation for the next era of low-altitude urban and regional air mobility.From a classification perspective,eVTOLs differ significantly from helicopters,short takeoff and landing(STO
6、L)aircraft,and conventional fixed-wing aviation.Within electric aviation,eVTOLs further segment into configurations such as multicopters,lift-plus-cruise models,and tilt-rotor designs,forming a diverse product ecosystem alongside hybrid and electric fixed-wing aircraft1.(See Exhibit 1.)1 This whitep
