With EHang, a Chinese eVTOL aircraft company, receiving its type certification from Chinese domestic airworthiness certification body the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for the multicopter EH216‐S, a first in the whole world. A new chapter has thus begun in the aviation industry and a significant milestone is achieved in the word of Advanced Air mobility and Aviation as a whole.Common scenes at recent air shows across the world are huge crowds gathered to sit in model cockpits, walk around, sit and experience the interiors of eye catching either concept or retired prototypes of electrical aircrafts promising a greener way to fly and radical promises of potential for Zero‐emission aviation industry.Technological advancements since the industrial revolution have gone together with an extensive exploitation of natural resources and massive destruction of the environment. The negative impact of the advanced technologies on environment, depletion of natural resource and disposal of harmful substances are not fully accounted for while evaluating the true value of modern innovations.Evolution of humans as a dominant race above, below and beyond the biosphere is only due to their ability to question the existence of the elements of the universe and power to innovate. Nevertheless, not all human innovations have bought them and the biosphere they live in good fortune and favours but also catastrophes and disasters. One should not be blinded by the glitter, beauty and usefulness of the innovation but also fully assess and understand the darker side of it. We humans will never be able to forget the mayhem caused due to some of histories best and the worst innovations such as supersonic passenger jets (Concord), harvesting nuclear energy through fission and fusion, pest control through Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), refrigeration through Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), dynamite, zeppelins, heavy metal based paints, microplastics, chemical fertilisers, to name a few.Achieving Climate change goals and net zero goals is impossible without first understanding and controlling the source of the causes. As much import the corrective actions are towards climate change, far more important are the preventive actions. This is a juncture where avoiding new sources of emissions is far more important than ever, such as the new mode of urban transport, the eVTOLs unless they are proven to be more sustainable than the existing ones.At the outset, the purpose of this study was to analyse and evaluate this new eco‐innovation, the eVTOLs,as a viable green urban decongestion solution. Effort was made to identify a suitable method of evaluating such eco‐innovations and use it to evaluate the green appeal of eVTOLs. Method of digital and document survey was used in the Life Cycle Assessment of eVTOLs critical emission parameters.The study concludes by identifying lack of factual evidences and data to fully evaluate the green appeal of the eVTOLs. Study finds that eVTOLs are ideal solution for travel distances of over 100kms and are not emission efficient for air taxi application, not at least with the current technology. It is noted that, it is import to follow the technologies advances in the field of eVTOLs and re‐evaluate the current findings. Alternative solutions for urban decongestions are recommended as well as areas for further study and analyses are advised.
