Abstract
Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) are a newly popular platform in modern
vertical lift. These small rotorcraft have much simpler mechanically and dynamically than conventional helicopters. Their simplicity has made them extremely useful in a wide variety of applications, including package delivery, aerial photography, and, recently, designs have been proposed for human-carrying vehicles for use as air-based taxi systems.
