Zeva Zero eVTOL: A Zero Emission Saucer-Styled Aircraft

That’s what the eggheads over at ZEVA hope to do

It’s an exciting time to be alive, with not only a swath of eVTOLs being developed like straight from our favorite Sci-Fi films and novels but affordable eVTOLs as well. 

That’s what the eggheads over at ZEVA hope to do, at least, with their new saucer-styled aircraft setup called Zero.  

Rising populations, as they say, are reducing our surface availability bit by bit, and the fabled eVTOL may just be a remedy for at least the symptoms.

The pilot is meant to board this personal vessel horizontally, with their chest touching the “floor,” A glass display allows you to see both ahead and below.  

Speaking of the pilot, ZEVA is currently working on making the whole thing completely autonomous, so you don’t even need a pilot’s license! 

With a range of around fifty miles and a top speed of one hundred and sixty miles per hour, the Zero will target emergency first responders initially as a way to help those in need as quickly as possible.  

Zero emissions and zero waiting. Go anywhere, from anywhere.
