From Electric Cars To Electric Airplanes, The End Of A Decade
2019 is drawing to a close, so let’s take stock of a decade of green mobility progress that started with a handful of startups a decade ago.
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?
BAE Systems & Jaunt Air Mobility Collaborate on Electric Energy Management Systems for Urban Air…
I met with Yesh Premkumar, Program Manager of Strategic Development Controls & Avionics Solutions at BAE, regarding the recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) the company signed with Jaunt Air Mobility. I learned a lot about what BAE has to bring to the electric urban air mobility (UAM) table.
Triumph & Jaunt Partner To Design, Develop, Certify, & Build Full-Scale Demonstrator
It’s been a little while since I’ve written about the incredible Jaunt Air Mobility adventure, and after intensive interviews with the team, I’m happy to report a deal with key aviation player Triumph Group.
The NBAA Pushes Electric Air Mobility In The Las Vegas Limelight
The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) outdid itself this year. Electric urban air mobility (UAM) was present with new players Jaunt Air Mobility, the fascinating XTI Aircraft, Uber Elevate, Bell, Boeing, and Airbus. What was so special about it this year? It wasn’t the timid show of electric UAM shows of the past. Can you say, “They’re here…?”
Urban Air Mobility Already Has 200 eVTOL Designs
In the short space of 3 years we’ve seen urban air mobility (UAM) develop from a concept to eHang promising the first electric vertical takeoff & landing (eVTOL) air taxi service at the end of 2019. The Vertical Flight Society, which I’m privileged to also write for, just reported that it now has 200 eVTOL aircraft in its database.
Embraer, Bell, Brazil, & Uber Elevate Are Shaping Our Urban Air Mobility Future
A flurry of aviation startups have challenged our current air mobility system and are introducing urban air mobility (UAM) to more people. Embraer, Bell, Brazil, & Uber Elevate are a few innovating in this fast-paced new industry.
Uber Elevate: Future Of Air Taxis = 3 Hours of Flight, 150 MPH, 4 Passengers
How fast should electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) aircraft zoom over our heads? Uber Elevate seems to think 150 mph is a good speed, and better than traditional helicopters.
Uber Elevate Sees Jaunt Air Mobility As A Potential 6th Urban Air Mobility Partner
Welcome another electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) startup in the urban air mobility world, Jaunt Air Mobility, which has caught the attention of Uber Elevate.
