Where the world's eVTOL operators are based — grouped by country, with the headline specs on every card. The US dominates by funding; China leads on commercial operations; Europe is in flux post-Lilium and Volocopter.
eVTOL programmes are concentrated in three regions: the United States (Joby, Archer, Wisk, Beta), China (EHang) and the EU (Lilium and Volocopter, both currently in insolvency proceedings).

Brazil
Embraer-spun-out eVTOL developer building a lift-and-cruise four-passenger air taxi with one of the largest letter-of-intent order books in the industry.
Canada
Canadian-American developer of Journey, a slowed-rotor compound (SRC) eVTOL that combines a helicopter-style rotor with a fixed wing for efficient cruise.
China
Shanghai-based developer of the Prosperity I — a lift-and-cruise four-passenger eVTOL that holds China's CAAC type-certificate acceptance for its category and a CAAC-cleared cargo sibling.
China
Guangzhou-based developer of the autonomous, two-seat EH216-S — the world's first eVTOL with full type, production and operating certificates from a national aviation authority.
China
The flying-car affiliate of EV-maker XPeng, building the X3 / Voyager X2 — a two-seat eVTOL — and the Land Aircraft Carrier modular flying-car platform.
Germany
Munich-based eVTOL pioneer of the ducted-fan Lilium Jet. Filed for insolvency in October 2024 and again in February 2025 after a planned investor rescue collapsed; operations…
Germany
German developer of the multirotor VoloCity air taxi. Filed for insolvency in December 2024 after EASA had granted the VoloCity limited operating approval.
Israel
Israeli developer of AIR ONE, a two-seat consumer eVTOL — a foldable, garage-stored personal aircraft positioned closer to a personal vehicle than a commercial air taxi.
Italy
Italian developer of the ANN family — hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft positioned for very-long-range regional missions across Europe and emerging markets.
Japan
Toyota-backed Japanese developer of the SD-05, a compact three-seat (1 pilot + 2 passengers) multirotor eVTOL designed for short city hops and event mobility.
United Kingdom
UK-based developer of the VX4, a piloted four-passenger eVTOL targeting EASA and UK CAA certification with backing from American Airlines, Avolon and Virgin Atlantic.

California-based eVTOL operator developing the Midnight, a 4-passenger air taxi designed for back-to-back 20-mile city hops with minimal recharge between flights.
United States
Mountain View-based developer of the A5, a four-seat drive-and-fly hybrid-electric eVTOL designed to be both a road-legal car and a runway- or vertical-launch aircraft.
United States
Vermont-based developer of long-range eVTOL and CTOL electric aircraft plus a nationwide DC charging network — built around cargo and regional logistics first.
United States
San Francisco-based developer of the Chaparral, a fully autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL cargo aircraft for middle-mile logistics, defence resupply and disaster response.
United States
California-based eVTOL operator developing a piloted, four-passenger air taxi for commercial ridesharing. The first US developer to clear FAA Stage 4 type certification.
United States
Spinout of Karem Aircraft developing the Butterfly, a five-passenger tilt-rotor eVTOL using Optimum Speed Tilt Rotor technology for low-noise urban operations.
United States
Larry Page-backed US developer of Helix, a single-seat ultralight eVTOL flown under FAA Part 103 — already shipping to consumers.
United States
Hyundai Motor Group's US-based eVTOL division building the S-A2, a piloted five-seat air taxi for 25–40-mile city hops.
United States
Boeing-backed US developer building a fully autonomous (no on-board pilot) four-passenger eVTOL air taxi.
