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.
The Vertical Flight Society has posted several additional photo albums of eVTOL aircraft and events.
On Oct. 3, Wisk Aero unveiled a full-scale model of its sixth-generation electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
In the seven and a half years since the Vertical Flight Society (VFS) held its first Transformative Vertical Flight (TVF) symposium on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in 2014, the electrification of the air transport industry has become a global movement touching almost every aviation segment and continent including Asia.
