Expected to launch next year, the eVTOL Atlas could be the first recreational aircraft to market that doesn't require a pilot's license. It's powered by an electric engine and four quiet rotors with battery packs that recharge in two hours. The Atlas is made of lightweight carbon fiber and will be capable of reaching a speed of up to 125mph and fly for up to an hour on a full charge. The recreation-only designation restricts it from flying over cities, towns, or congested areas, but the fact that no license is required should draw quite a bit of interest once it is certified by the FAA.
