Aerospace Leaders Working To Predict & Create The Future Of Urban Air Mobility Management
Predicting the future use of airspace — not knowing how it will be used, what types of aircraft will be made, and how to manage it safely — is hair raising to most. Major companies like Airbus and Dassault Systèmes, among others, are simulating our unknown electric air mobility future. But what does the future really hold?
eHang Is About To Make Aviation History — 1st eVTOL Service Coming In December
It’s been a little while since we dedicated proper time to covering revolutionary eHang and its progress with electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Besides the blisteringly fast pace of several aircraft developments, the company is readying its eHang 216 autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs).
Porsche & Boeing Sign An Agreement To Work On “Premium” eVTOL Aircraft
Some big news this week is that Boeing and Porsche have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to look into the “premium” electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) aircraft market. Porsche says it wants to design a premium eVTOL aircraft and Boeing has aerodynamic expertise — hence the connection. The news introduces a few key turning points with both automakers and aviation. Both of these companies are established players and are feeling the media heat from aviation and road vehicle startups. I’m excited because I’ve been waiting for the convergence of road and air for the past three years.
Faradair Aerospace Is Taking Hybrid-Powered Flight Testing To UAM Waters
While the electric aviation industry is working on futuristic-looking electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) aircraft, more conventional electric airplanes (eCTOL) are filling different niches and needs. So, what does Faradair Aerospace have to offer with its Bio-Electric Hybrid Aircraft (BEHA) M1H?
After The Hoversurf Bike Comes The eVTOL Hoversurf Formula
As cool as the Hoversurf Hoverbike is, the company is now working on another electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air vehicle, the Hoversurf Formula. There are bigger ambitions for the latter.
eHang Wants To Start An eVTOL Service In Guangzhou Soon
China knows no speed limit when it comes to technological advance. Local e-mobility startup eHang is pushing boundaries in the electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) aircraft market and is now promising an air taxi service in Guangzhou, China. I look forward to testing that service on my next trip to Guangzhou.
Boeing & Kitty Hawk Team Up To Build The Future Of Urban Air Mobility
Boeing has been in the news lately and not always for positive reasons, but a new announcement about a partnership with Kitty Hawk reveals that both companies are teaming up to further develop urban air mobility (UAM). This cooperation could help Boeing regain some positive momentum while giving Kitty Hawk … [continued]
