Many discussions around eVTOLs highlight range as a key performance metric.

In reality, turnaround time will define commercial success.

Faster charging, quicker boarding, and efficient scheduling will allow one aircraft to perform multiple short missions per hour.

eVTOLs are not meant to replace long-distance travel — they are built to move people quickly within dense urban regions.

The operators who optimise utilisation, not range, will lead the first phase of urban air mobility.
