The book progresses systematically, starting with the foundational principles of vertical flight and existing VTOL designs.
It then delves into crucial areas like electric propulsion and air traffic management. Shifting focus, it analyzes the business aspects, including manufacturing costs and revenue streams, before addressing the complex regulatory landscape.
This approach allows the book to present a comprehensive assessment of the factors determining VTOL aircraft's future.
The book posits that overcoming economic and regulatory barriers is as important as technological innovation for VTOLs to alleviate urban congestion and transform urban transit.
