Morgan Stanley Says Marketplace Lay For Self-Flying Cars Could Rising To $1.5 Trillion Past Times 2040

From our introduction to 2016's "Uber to Challenge Airbus inwards the Autonomous Electric Flying Taxi Business":

As the solely analysts roofing the nascent as-yet-theoretical autonomous electrical flying taxi marketplace nosotros intend to live on the the go-to origin for all things autonomous electrical flying taxi and/or theoretical....

It appears nosotros may induce got some upstart analyst competition. Arrivistes!
Or, every bit Churchill's detective/bodyguard was reputed to induce got commented on coming together a surely American "He has the whiff of the parvenu close him".

And from GeekWire:

The marketplace for autonomous flying cars — too known every bit eVTOL aircraft, air taxis or personal air vehicles — could sum to nearly $1.5 trillion past times the yr 2040, according to an in-depth analysis from Morgan Stanley Research.

The fiscal company’s 85-page report, distributed to clients this week, draws together information from a host of sources, including a private-public symposium on urban air mobility that was conducted concluding calendar month inwards Seattle.

“We take in the evolution of the UAM [urban air mobility] ecosystem every bit extremely long-dated together with requiring up-front uppercase allocation, testing together with evolution inwards the brusk term, amongst increasing visibility;” said Morgan Stanley’s question team, which includes senior analyst Adam Jonas.

The players include Boeing, which is working amongst its subsidiary, Aurora Flight Sciences, to field a flying-car epitome side past times side year; together with Airbus, which is involved inwards air taxi ventures including Vahana inwards Silicon Valley together with Voom inwards Brazil together with Mexico. Just this month, Airbus together with Audi demonstrated a scaled-down version of an eVTOL craft — that is, an electric-powered, vertical-takeoff-and-landing air vehicle — at a drone manufacture demo inwards the Netherlands.

“Lockheed Martin is investing inwards eVTOL autonomous aircraft, together with nosotros believe Northrop Grumman is probable involved every bit well, piece Raytheon together with Harris are targeting air traffic command technology,” Morgan Stanley said inwards its report.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 broad array of startups are inwards the eVTOL race every bit well. The running listing includes Kitty Hawk, Joby Aviation, Terrafugia, VerdeGo Aero, the Dutch venture PAL-V, China’s EHang, Germany’s Volocopter and Lilium, Switzerland’s Passenger Drone, Slovakia’s AeroMobil and Japan’s Cartivator Project. Even Aston Martin together with Rolls-Royce, ii stalwarts of the British automotive together with aerospace industries, are inwards the running.

Morgan Stanley said flying cars could complement the delivery drone operations that companies including Amazon together with Wing (a Google spin-out) are contemplating. “Shipping is Amazon’s second-largest terms … and flying cars could cut back delivery costs inwards both rural together with traffic-congested urban areas,” the written report said.
Passenger move is expected to concern human relationship for most of the marketplace inwards 2040, amounting to $851 billion inwards Morgan Stanley’s base-case scenario....MORE, including video.
