Electric Aircraft Will Help Save The World
How many se the rise of electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) aircraft leading the urban air mobility (UAM) of tomorrow? How many see the potential of this new technology?

Air Race E (Electric Airplane Race) Launching In 2020
What a wild first year it’s been for the highly entertaining electric Air Race E, which is gearing up for its first year of races — targeted for 2020. My last conversation with Jeff Zaltman, Air Race E’s CEO, showed me that the group is about as dynamic as its airplanes maneuvering in the sky.
Will eVTOL Aircraft Pollute More Or Less Than Road Cars In The Coming Urban Mobility…
We recently published an article stating that some scientists and entrepreneurs favor the idea of urban air mobility (UAM) since it could have less environmental impact than our current road-going vehicles. But data and statistics can be applied in many ways, and how we see given phenomena determines how we use them, deal with them, and benefit (or not) from them. This time it’s the University of Michigan and Ford — mild surprise regarding the latter — that contest the idea of cleaner eVTOL aircraft.
Electric Flight Dominates Air Mobility News At The 2018 International EAA AirVenture Oshkosh Event
The great thing about air events is that airplanes can come from far away. The not so great thing is that if the event is far, you too have to travel to it. But this year’s 2018 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh was well worth the travel, as it attempted to show a clearer picture of our near future mobility.
