Some practical stuff
Common eVTOL types:

Lift + cruise
Electrical needs:
Design/source a controller that stops the props at a particuar angle to minimize drag during horizontal flight
Tilt rotor
Needs large props
Things I recall from comp
VTOL motor power draw is high, especially under headwind
One soln is what Carleton did with its raised/triangle rear stabiliser, decreasing wind effects and making the line centre of mass angled. The rear motor did not have to do as much.
Side note: Guy from Lockheed mentioned that winged mode flight requires a forward center of mass to prevent pitching backwards
Some sci-fi inspiration
Halo Hornet, Wasp, Pelican
