An electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is a category of VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft that uses electric power to hover, take off, and land vertically. This technology emerged due to significant advancements in the field of electric propulsion, encompassing motors, batteries, electronic controllers, and propellers. Concurrently, there was an emerging demand for new aerial vehicles capable of facilitating greener and quieter flights within the domain of Advanced Air Mobility

vertiport
A vertiport (verti- is for vertical and port for harbour, analogous to airport) is a future, as yet rarely realised concept of a take-off and landing site for electrically powered aircraft taking off and landing vertically, eVTOL craft. It can be part of a vertihub if there is a large volume of air traffic. A vertiport is similar to a heliport or helipad.
