The Vertical Flight Society has been working to advance electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft since 2013, providing technical, professional and business resources to this burgeoning sector. As a leading advocate of the "Electric VTOL Revolution," VFS has been holding its Electric VTOL Symposiums since 2014, started its Electric VTOL Newsletter in 2016, and launched its Electric VTOL website in 2017. In mid-July, VFS added the 300th electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to its World eVTOL Aircraft Directory. The Society's Electric VTOL News website, the first and more expansive eVTOL information website, catalogues all known eVTOL aircraft concepts. This comprehensive directory now includes more than 300 eVTOL aircraft concepts - a leap of 50 aircraft since January - representing some 215 different companies/developers. These 300 entries include everything from conceptual studies and defunct projects to aircraft that are currently being flown for certification testing. For the past 30 months, the VFS World eVTOL Aircraft Directory has grown at a steady pace of 100 entries per year - an average of two new eVTOL aircraft concepts are added each week.
