Abstract: A modular aircraft includes a plurality of structural elements. The structural elements include a pod module assembly, a wing assembly, and a chassis module. The pod module assembly is configured to be selectively attached to and detached from at least one of the chassis module and the wing module when the aircraft is not in flight. The pod module assembly is configured to transport at least one of a passenger and cargo.

Abstract: A system and a method of using a centralized hub that controls and authenticates which aerial and/or terrestrial vehicles are on a local vehicle operations travelway. Communications networks are established that can handle one-off decisions for local networks, regarding the vehicles. This centralized hub may be implemented for each location, and federated with other centralized hubs.

Abstract: An electrically powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (EVTOL) includes a payload module, a plurality of electrical power sources. a wing, and a plurality of electric thrust generators. The wing is pivotally attached to the payload module and is configured to pivot about a pivot axis, relative to the payload module, to transition between vertical flight and horizontal flight. The electric thrust generators are operatively attached to the wing, where each one is operatively connected to a different electrical power source. The electric thrust generators operate to provide thrust to the aircraft in response to receiving electric power from the electrical power sources. The electric thrust generators pivot, with the wing, about the pivot axis, relative to the payload.
