kaupunkilennon
Kaupunkilennon, translating to "urban flight" or "city flying" in Finnish, refers to the concept and emerging reality of aerial transportation within urban environments. This encompasses a range of vehicles, most notably electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, designed to operate in densely populated areas. The primary goal of kaupunkilennon is to alleviate traffic congestion on ground-level infrastructure by providing a faster and potentially more efficient mode of transport.
The development of kaupunkilennon is driven by technological advancements, particularly in battery technology, electric propulsion, and
Challenges remain in realizing widespread kaupunkilennon. These include regulatory hurdles, the need for extensive infrastructure such
