This Is the Future of Air Travel

Last week, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft stocks got a big boost. If you’re not familiar with eVTOLs, the concept is simple yet revolutionary to an industry ripe for disruption, and two companies in particular are ahead of the game.

Companies like Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY), Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR), and Eve Holding (NYSE: EVEX) each rose nearly 20% in one day. So what gives? Why the renewed enthusiasm? If you’re not familiar with eVTOLs, the concept is simple yet revolutionary to an industry ripe for disruption. An eVTOL is a winged vehicle that can not only take off and land vertically, like a helicopter, but also fly horizontally, like an airplane. In order to achieve this feat, eVTOLs typically have multiple propellers on the wings. Here’s an example of Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL... [achr] Pretty slick, right? The first use case for these aircraft is a quick taxi between airports. But in the future, who knows? Maybe these will become the industry standard. The Uber of the skies, they say. Now, I say the aviation industry is ripe for disruption for three reasons... Tesla Is Dead... Elon Musk Is Ruined Thanks to a new discovery — known as “Blue Gas” — electric car companies like Tesla are about to go down in flames. “Blue Gas” is 100% emission-free, can propel vehicles hundreds of miles, and allows cars to fully charge in just minutes. And the tiny company behind it is primed to absolutely shatter any gains ever paid out by Tesla.

And it emits most of the fumes into the upper atmosphere, where it lingers and causes damage. Second, inefficiencies within the airline industry, like flight cancellations, software problems, and pilot shortages, are making people rethink their travel plans. Finally, the cost of air travel has become prohibitively expensive for many of us. So companies have been busy engineering new forms of air travel. But alternative air travel isn’t a new phenomenon. The Forgotten Era of Flight For as along as humans have been around, we’ve attempted to fly. Before airplanes became the industry standard, blimps were used more prominently. In the early 1900s, airships could be seen flying over major cities, like this zeppelin floating over Manhattan in 1936... [empire] In fact, the mast of the Empire State Building was built specifically as a docking station for an airship. Airships, also known as dirigibles, are an amazing sight. When you see a blimp or even a hot air balloon, the sheer size makes you feel like you’re living in the future. Many sci-fi movies use airships as a symbol of future progress. Who can forget the iconic Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade scene where Indy and Jones Sr. try to escape on a German D-138 zeppelin? The interior looked spacious, luxurious, and relaxing. [QUIZ] Most Investors Have No Idea... How do you think the Ukraine-Russia conflict will affect energy markets? - Sky-high oil prices thanks to new demand for non-Russian energy - A worldwide shift to green energy - Saudi Arabia emerges as the oil producer to replace Russia - Absolutely nothing Want to see the real answer? [Make your selection, and I’ll reveal it to you!]( All commercial zeppelin travel stopped after the Hindenburg disaster of 1937. The Van Wagner Airship Group estimates there are only 25 blimps in use around the world today, used mainly as billboards. That could soon change. Technology has come a long way, and experts think the airship industry is being reborn as we speak. Two companies in particular are working to disrupt the luxury air travel and heavy shipping industries using airships. First, Hybrid Air Vehicles built the Airlander 10, the longest aircraft in the world, designed for slow, luxurious, and green commercial travel. It can also be used for surveillance and other military operations. [air] Using helium to float (instead of the flammable hydrogen used in the Hindenburg), it can take off and land vertically, allowing it to reach remote corners of the planet. While it does use combustion engines for thrust and trim, the ship emits 75% less carbon than other aircraft. The company plans to use a hybrid electric motor, which will reduce emissions by 90%, with the goal of using all-electric engines in the near future. For now, the Airlander fits a niche luxury travel market, but airships have commercial uses as well. Paris-based company Flying Whales created its airship out of necessity to bolster the French lumber industry. With a cargo capacity of 60 metric tons, the LCA60T can enter remote regions of the country to retrieve logs and carry them to sawmills. The company hopes to carry other commercial equipment, like shipping containers and wind turbine blades. The New Emperor of Energy Storage You’re looking at the future of a $3.3 trillion industry. Thanks to this groundbreaking innovation, clean energy can be fed to the power grid 24/7... Regardless of whether the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. I call it the "Newton Battery," and it crushes every other battery on the market. The Swiss and the Saudis are already using it. And grids across the globe will be using this battery before we know it. It’s all possible thanks to one tiny company’s patented tech. The best part is that 99% of investors have no idea that it just went public... [Get in on the ground floor now, before it's too late.]( What’s Next? One major problem with massive airships is the weather. The side of an airship effectively acts like a large sail, so heavy winds will really push it around. However, smaller vehicles — like drones and personal electric airplanes — have an advantage by being able to cut through the wind... and they're just now being used for deliveries (of goods and people), a sector set to grow to $223 billion by 2027. Delivery drones from Amazon, Walmart, and even Google are making their way into the skies and might just patch up this supply chain mess by supplementing home deliveries. Recently, Google’s Wing drone could be seen delivering Walgreens packages to residents in Frisco, Texas. [drone] The appeal is that these small aircraft can vertically land and take off, making it much easier to get in and out of tight areas and expanding the reach of the vehicles. This is why eVTOLs are getting so much attention these days. With traditional travel companies like United Airlines and even Toyota jumping into the eVTOL mix, it's a sector you'll want exposure to in the coming decade. That’s why my premium subscribers are investing in the Uber of the skies, basically an eVTOL air taxi. For more weekly actionable intel, [sign up to my premium email list.]( It's completely free.
