In cities like Athens or Thessaloniki, traffic jams are part of everyday life. IGeTECH was created precisely to change that. Its proposal: Hummingbird, an autonomous eVTOL capable of reducing trips from one hour to just six minutes.
But the challenge was not just about flying. It was about designing a new mobility system from scratch.
Design everything, not just the vehicle
IGeTECH was not starting from an existing base. Every element — battery, aerodynamics, structure — was developed from scratch, with a clear goal: optimize performance without compromising the user experience.
The battery, for example, had to take up as little space as possible to leave room for the passenger and their luggage. Every decision mattered.
Growing without losing control
As the team grew, so did complexity. To avoid the typical problems of working with disconnected tools, IGeTECH chose a unified cloud-based environment built on 3DEXPERIENCE.
Design, data, and project management coexist in the same environment, enabling coordinated work from day one.

A single source of truth
Thanks to this platform, the entire team accesses the same information: 3D models, BOM, requirements, or supplier data. This eliminates errors, improves collaboration, and ensures that work is always done on the latest version.
The impact is tangible: IGeTECH estimates a 30% reduction in design time.
Beyond the product: a complete ecosystem
Hummingbird is not just a vehicle. It is a complete system that includes smart charging stations and automated battery swapping solutions.
Everything has been designed within the same digital environment, enabling the evaluation of alternatives and data-driven decision-making before building.
From concept to reality
From the outset, development has been aligned with regulations such as EASA and FAA, avoiding later redesigns and ensuring project viability.
IGeTECH is not just developing an eVTOL. It is building a new way to move.
