eVTOL Companies By Country

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).
