Q. With reference to Electric Vertical Take off and Landing(eVTOL) aircraft, consider the following statements;:
1.Distributed electric propulsion technology is associated with eVTOL aircrafts.
2.These aircrafts are free from cyberattacks.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?;
Answer: A
Notes:
Statement 1 is correct: eVTOL Aircraft is one that uses electric power to hover, take off, and land vertically.
Most eVTOLs also use what is called distributed electric propulsion technology, which means integrating a complex propulsion system with the airframe.
Statement 2 is incorrect: eVTOL has following challenges, a) Ensuring safety in case of a power plant or rotor failure, b) Aircraft protection from cyberattacks is another area of focus and c) Navigation and flight safety.
