Vtol Aircraft
A VTOL (Vertical Landing/Takeoff) aircraft is an aircraft that can land and take off vertically. Unlike other fixed-wing aircraft, this type of aircraft can take off vertically without the need for a runway or take-off ramp, and can maneuver in confined spaces at airports. VTOL aircraft are generally designed for military purposes and can be used in a variety of missions such as reconnaissance, surveillance, intelligence gathering, logistics support.
VTOL aircraft are a type of hybrid aircraft that are thought to replace helicopters. Being able to land and take off vertically allows them to be used in difficult conditions or narrow spaces where there are no take-off ramps or runways. VTOL aircraft can offer a more flexible and versatile option than fixed-wing aircraft, which can be faster and longer range. VTOL models, especially developed for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), can be used for reconnaissance and surveillance, payload and even armed operations.

Tips on How Airlines Can Decrease Their Carbon Footprint
Heightened awareness about the climate crisis has forced airlines to rethink their strategies and invest in new ones to reduce their carbon footprint. There's an international push to achieve net-zero air by the year 2050. That's not too far away, and airlines are pushing for game-changing innovations.
Here are a few ways airlines can reduce emissions and positively contribute to the growing concern about climate change.
Sustainable Air Fuels
One change that many airlines are embracing is switching from traditional jet fuel to sustainable air fuel (SAF). From an emissions standpoint, SAF creates the same amount of CO2 when burned. However, the savings come from the manufacturing process.
SAF isn't made with traditional fossil fuels. Instead, it's a product of vegetable and waste oils. The manufacturing process absorbs as much as 100 percent of the CO2 created when burned. The offset is substantial. SAF uses feedstock that doesn't compete with crops or contribute to forest degradation. It's a sustainable alternative that many airlines are already using.
Investing in Fuel-Efficient Aircraft
Airlines are already pushing for better fuel efficiency. But the changes are often minimal compared to what's possible.
Many aviation experts believe vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft are the future. Private VTOL aircraft are more efficient and produce significantly fewer emissions. The best concepts can accept passenger travel while using hybrid-electric propulsion systems.
With all-electric travel for short hops, these aircraft will produce zero emissions. But even on existing air corridors, they generate less than a quarter of what traditional jets do.
Private VTOL aircraft show great promise, flipping the concept of air travel on its head and providing a more eco-friendly alternative to planes. Furthermore, the lack of airstrip space required to take off opens the doors to creating better, more efficient routes.
Better Route Optimization
Where and how an aircraft flies matters. Several factors impact fuel efficiency, but conditions can change rapidly. Airlines can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by investing in on-demand route optimization technology. Optimization can ensure that every flight produces as few emissions as possible when paired with SAF and other sustainability measures.

Alauda's Airspeeder MK-4
The company said in a statement that the one-person electric racing machine will have a top speed of 225 mph, and potential range of 180 miles. 
It will be powered by a Thunderstrike Hydrogen Turbogenerator connected to electric motors on the eVTOL wings.
