“We are developing the full-scale prototype, the ePlane e200, and aim to have the e200 cargo variant built towards the end of 2022 and undergo the certification process through the following year, with a target of having it ready for commercial deployment around late 2023”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>according to CTO and co-founder Satya Chakravarty<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The air taxi developed by The ePlane Company might accelerate cargo and passenger transit up to ten times more than current models. <\/strong>Up to 2024, the passenger version is anticipated to go through more demanding certification testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re concentrating on making the ePlane one of the world’s most compact eVTOLs, catering to the mid-mile and last-mile urban air mobility market sectors, hence reducing traffic congestion in cities” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>he said<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
