EVRY Flight (Electric Vertical Rotorcraft for Yourself) is developing a single-occupant, fully autonomous electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for daily commutes and regional point-to-point travel. The car-sized aircraft is designed for routes between home, work, city, coast, and second-home destinations without airports or terminals. The company has completed initial aircraft design, performance analysis, patent applications, and a 1/8 scale prototype for propulsion and flight envelope validation.
