Proud to see our incubated deep-tech startup, The ePlane Company, pull back the curtain today on the e200X (PT-01), the full-scale physical reality of their physics-first approach to aviation.
While the global industry has spent billions building massive aircraft that require cities to rebuild their infrastructure completely, IIT Madras faculty member Prof. Satya Chakravarthy and his team took a completely different path.
At just 8m × 11m, the e200X is the world’s most compact passenger eVTOL, engineered to carry a pilot + 200kg of payload directly out of current helipads. Backed by over 10,000 km of cumulative flight testing and holding a formal Design Organisation Approval (DOA) from the DGCA, ePlane represents the elite tier of execution rigour in the Advanced Air Mobility sector.
