But as urban density increases, it brings a degradation of the quality of life. Because of urban sprawl and traffic congestion, commuting has become a time sink and a major factor of air pollution. In addition, global urban population is expecting to grow at a sustained pace: 70% of us will live in an urban environment by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why the search is on for better, more sustainable transportation technologies and models to improve urban mobility such as electric cars, e-scooters, autonomous shuttle..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another \u201cthree-dimensional\u201d mode of travel somewhere between commercial airplanes and remotely controlled drones called eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft). They are a thriving area of experimentation for investors and they all set to succeed in giving birth to today\u2019s science fiction scenario: making the air a reliable and affordable daily mode of transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whitepaper focuses on the exciting projects underway and introduces \u2018Viable\u2019, our eVTOL concept designed by frog \u2013 part of Capgemini Invent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This was first published on Capgemini Engineering website.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, more than half the world\u2019s population, live in cities.
