Problem
Urban travel between major cities is constrained by ground traffic congestion and the limited availability of short‑haul air services, which often require large airports and runways, making rapid point‑to‑point trips inaccessible for many commuters.
Solution
Vyobha provides an electric vertical‑takeoff air‑taxi that can operate from rooftop vertiports located within city centers, eliminating the need for traditional runways. The vehicle seats four passengers plus a pilot and features panoramic windows for an immersive view at a cruise altitude of 1,500 m. Powered by a 400 kWh solid‑state battery and distributed electric propulsion (six tilting lift rotors and a rear pusher), it delivers up to 320 km of range per charge with cabin noise around 65 dB, enabling fast intercity trips such as London‑to‑Birmingham in 28 minutes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban commuters, business travelers, and premium mobility services seeking fast, zero‑emission point‑to‑point transport between major city centers.
