A Hover Driven Approach to eVTOL Aircraft Design

https://doi.org/10.4050/F-0081-2025-0288

Abstract:
eVTOL aircraft are a stable part of nowadays rotorcraft industry, gathering attention and investments throughout all geographies. The challenge of designing such a vehicle is the necessity to combine transformative flight and distributed lifting systems. This paper presents a methodology developed within Leonardo Helicopters Division (LHD) to perform the preliminary design of eVTOLs, following an approach that starts from hovering flight, investigating the design permutations able to satisfy certain criteria of performance, maneuverability, and safety.
