Amping Airpower-Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing for the U.S. Air Force: Military Utility, Market Dynamics, and Warfighter Adoption in Bloomington, MN

Using results from a literature review; expert discussions; operational, technical, and strategic modeling; and case studies, the authors evaluate the utility the U.S. Air Force (USAF) might get from electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, how much influence the USAF has on technical development and supply chains, and options to transition emerging commercial technology to the USAF to recommend an eVTOL strategy for the USAF.
