Pilots will play a central role in the initial phase of eVTOL operations.
Key considerations include:
• Pilot training and certification pathways
• Human-machine interface design
• Gradual transition toward autonomous systems
• Public and regulatory confidenceA phased approach to autonomy can support safe and scalable eVTOL adoption.

Despite long-term autonomy goals, early eVTOL operations will rely heavily on pilots.
Human oversight builds trust, supports safety validation, and helps regulators gain confidence.
Autonomy will come — but pilots will lead the transition.

Identifying the right early use cases is critical for successful eVTOL rollout.
High-impact initial applications may include:
• Airport-to-city connections
• Emergency medical transport
• Cargo and time-critical logistics
• Short intercity routesEarly operational success will shape public perception and regulatory confidence.
