After a heady and hectic summer (see “eVTOL Leaders Continue to Partner for Growth,” Vertiflite, Sept/Oct 2023), the leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft settled into a familiar rhythm as each sought to demonstrate progress towards launching commercial operations.
Battery performance and associated aircraft range capability remains a major area of focus for the nascent electric aircraft industry. The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) recognized the need for civil aviation authorities to assess battery performance for electric aircraft in a recently published white paper, “Managing Range and Endurance of Battery-Electric Aircraft.”
This year’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (BACE) featured a number of advanced air mobility (AAM) exhibitors in the show’s innovation area and a series of presentations highlighting emerging technology and market challenges.
The Aviation Week Network hosted a three-day mini symposium in Hall 5, in the middle of the AAM vehicle display.
The leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft had a busy summer.
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) took a prominent role at the biannual Paris Air Show with a dedicated hall to display electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and a three-day Paris Air Mobility event hosted by Aviation Week.
Since the last issue of Vertiflite magazine, several of the leading developers of electric VTOL (eVTOL) aircraft have revealed important milestones in their efforts to test, certify and produce the latest generation of sustainable commercial aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) applications.
With an eye towards launching operations by the middle of the decade, leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are pressing hard and making demonstrable progress towards certification and beginning advanced air mobility (AAM) operations.
