Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft promise to be quieter than helicopters, but how much quieter? And how will that shape the future of urban air mobility (UAM)? These are some of the questions that were addressed at "The ((Quiet)) Electric VTOL Revolution," the third annual VFS eVTOL panel at the annual Helicopter Association International (HAI) Heli-Expo 2020 trade show. The panel featured an all-star lineup of Juliet Page of the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, Ben Goldman of Joby Aviation, Pamela Cohn of Hyundai Motor Group's UAM division, and Mark Moore of Uber Technologies; Elan Head of Vertical Magazine and eVTOL.com moderated. VFS Director of Strategic Development Jim Sherman led off the discussion with an overview of eVTOL developments and the Vertical Flight Society's leadership efforts.
