This is an incredibly challenging time for US Army aviation leaders. In one instance, the service is modernizing its legacy fleets to remain operationally ready and relevant on the battlefield well beyond this decade.
Vertical Flight Society Forum 78’s leadership roundtable provided vital lessons learned for opening session attendees on the rapidly evolving advanced air mobility (AAM) sector. What is intriguing about the executives’ insights on the topic is that their perspectives on the topic mirror, in many instances, highlight presentations at 2022 WATS.
As the eVTOL industry takes shape, there is a frenetic pace of activity to plan and build the infrastructure that will support the approaching first flights of urban air mobility and other new vehicle classes.
The ‘G-35’ – SAE International’s new standards committee for Modeling, Simulation and Training (MST) for New Emerging Technologies and Concepts – will meet as a full body 7-8 June at CAE’s training center at the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas airport. The committee was launched last September to develop consensus-based standards for implementing advance technologies such as eVTOL while maintaining and enhancing safety.
CAT Magazine is devoting increasing coverage of the emerging electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft market. Rick Adams, FRAeS, CAT Editor-in-Chief; explains why in this overview of the rapidly expanding sector.
The nascent electric vertical takeoff and landing market was sent into a bit of a spin this week when the FAA suggested they may change the regulations by which eVTOL pilots are trained.
Maj. Gen. Michael Keating, UK Army Air Corps, Deputy Commander for Support of US Army III Corps and Fort Hood, provided several, succinct lessons-learned from current global operations that captured the attention of attendees at Vertical Flight Society Forum 78’s opening general session in Fort Worth, Texas.
Stakeholders across the emerging eVTOL ecosystem are taking measured approaches to permit burgeoning numbers of urban air mobility vehicles to safely operate in national airspaces.
“Our comprehensive regulatory proposal on UAM is now ready for public consultation”, Patrick Ky, Executive Director, EASA, at the agency’s High-Level Conference on Drones 2022. Currently in final internal consultation, the proposal is expected to be issued soon for public comment.
