Case Study: The ePlane Company accelerates eVTOL development with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE

The ePlane Company: Urban Air Mobility

The ePlane Company, a startup developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for urban air mobility, faced the challenge of designing a compact and efficient air taxi to alleviate severe traffic congestion in cities like Bangalore. To fast-track development while managing complex engineering requirements, they turned to Dassault Systèmes and adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.

Using Dassault Systèmes' integrated solutions, including CATIA for 3D modeling, SIMULIA for virtual testing, and ENOVIA for product lifecycle management, the team achieved significant efficiencies. The cloud-based platform enabled real-time collaboration and complex simulations without heavy infrastructure investment. Dassault Systèmes' solutions helped reduce the time needed to develop complex models by 30-40% and provided the necessary tools for regulatory compliance, accelerating the path toward flight tests scheduled for 2026.
