Considered to be one of the largest events ever held by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), its first Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Symposium is being touted as a resounding success by everyone involved.
In the past few months, several of the leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have found continued success in striving for their vision for advanced air mobility (AAM), but other companies were not so fortunate.
Once again, the month of September saw numerous subject matter experts and key stakeholders gathered to discuss advanced air mobility (AAM) infrastructure. Designed to provide a platform for experts from government, industry and academia to collaborate in developing the next generation of infrastructure for the expected ecosystem of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the Vertical Flight Society’s AAM Infrastructure Workshop moved the needle a little closer to reality.
The 50th Annual European Rotorcraft Forum (ERF) took place in Marseille, France, with a record 360 in attendance from 19 countries, including 45 from the US.
Here’s the Nov/Dec 2024 roundup of recent news on battery-electric, hybrid-electric and hydrogen-electric conventional takeoff and landing (eCTOL) and short takeoff and landing (eSTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) applications.
For the third year in a row, VFS organized sessions on future air mobility at Airtec, “the International Fair on Aerospace, Future Air Mobility, New Space and Defence & Security.”
In September, Vertical Aerospace announced the first half-year 2024 financial results and the completion of Phase 1 of the piloted flight test program. Vertiflite spoke to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stuart Simpson.
Chinese companies are rapidly advancing in the “low-altitude” sector (see “China's Low-Altitude Economy and eVTOL Diplomacy,” Vertiflite, Sept/Oct 2024), signaling a transformative era in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL).
VFS hosted its annual EAS, featuring talks by leaders from across the global AAM community.
In the past few months, the leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft made progress in delivering on their vision for advanced air mobility (AAM).
