Its actually a STOL, short-take-off-landing, as there is no vertical TO component. Whether an “e” should go in front is up for discussion as are other terms like “rotor”, “prop”, etc. due to regulatory considerations. My guess in the end if it has an ICE onboard vs batteries or fuel cell to make electrical power it won't have the sought after "e" in front of the aircraft type. But who knows.
