About Honda's initiatives in new fields

　In order to make the air travel realized by the original HondaJet Landing: We are working on the development of an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

eVTOL maintains safety equivalent to that of commercial airliners by distributing propulsion with a simple structure, not to mention cleanliness due to electrification technology. Due to the relatively small diameter rotor, it is possible to achieve quietness that does not cause noise even when taking off and landing in the city, so the development competition is intensifying. On the other hand, all-electric eVTOL has the problem of cruising range due to battery capacity, and its realistic operating range is limited to urban movement.

　In response, Honda is working on the development of Honda eVTOL, a hybrid with a gas turbine that utilizes electrification technology, in order to achieve longer cruising distances and more convenient inter-city travel. , realization of inter-city transportation, which is expected to expand the market. In addition to electrification technology, Honda eVTOL utilizes technologies that Honda has cultivated in various fields, such as combustion, aerodynamics, and control technology.

　Honda aims to create new value through a new mobility ecosystem by coordinating and combining with ground mobility with this Honda eVTOL at its core. .
