NFT Announces eVTOL Fly & Drive Electric Vertical Takeoff & Landing Vehicle Concept To Be Unveiled at CES 2019

At CES 2018 one of the major trends was vehicle technology and CES 2019 will be no different as more companies and startups unveil their latest innovations. Announced today, NFT Inc., a Silicon Valley developer of autonomous commuter transportation solutions, will present the concept of their state of the art 2 or 4-seater eVTOL (electric Vertical Landing & Takeoff) at CES 2019 Eureka Park (Booth 51701).

The NFT Inc. eVTOL is an “affordable” autonomous commuter transportation solution designed to drive like a family car, flies autonomously and for door-to-door commuting. One has to wonder what is the affordable price range and when will the concept come to market? I suppose we will find out at CES 2019!

Here is what makes NFT’s eVTOL different from other autonomous commuter transportation solutions:

  • Fly and Drive Door-to-Door eVTOL with target of 500 km autonomous flight and 100km drive
  • Easily parks and charges in a garage or on-street parking, no heliport or special airstrip needed
  • Enables people to live outside a major city and have a short, convenient door-to-door commute to work

Per NFT, their goal is to drastically reduce transit congestion in and out of urban areas and turn daily door-to-door commutes into an easy, stress-free experience, leading to reduced environmental impact and a higher quality of life in mega-cities. The manufacturing model for the NFT drive and fly vehicle, which bridges automotive and aviation, will enable it to be priced in the range of a family car, making autonomous commuting an affordable reality.

I will be covering CES 2019 and my favorite area to visit is Eureka Park as it has some of the most innovative technology so I will be checking out the eVTOL live. I haven’t seen any pictures online of the final design, therefore, this will be a CES 2019 exclusive. We aren’t sure how much they will unveil at CES but whatever concept pictures or displays I will capture while there. Stay tuned Hi-Tech Chic Fans, CES 2019 is just around the corner!
