Vold-e is a fully electric autonomous eVTOL designed for urban and regional air mobility. Its key innovation is a folding Prandtl wing, which reduces ground footprint while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. The aircraft carries four passengers, has a range of 200 km, and reaches speeds of 200 km/h.

The design combines six electric rotors, a lightweight composite structure, and advanced autonomous control systems with redundant safety features. Aerodynamic and structural analyses confirm that the aircraft is feasible, with strong efficiency and stability performance. Vold-e also offers zero in-flight CO₂ emissions, reduced land use, and competitive future operating costs. The main challenges are technical complexity, certification, and market adoption. ...
