This topic brief examines the technological maturity, operational concepts, and regulatory challenges of electric vertical take‑off and landing (eVTOL) air taxis. It highlights potential benefits—including urban congestion relief, emission reduction, and new mobility services—alongside safety considerations, infrastructure needs, air‑traffic integration, and environmental impacts. The brief provides an early assessment of how eVTOL systems could transform regional and urban transport if regulatory frameworks and public acceptance evolve accordingly. [tab-beim-b...ndestag.de]
