As Global civil aviation authorities are taking a lot of different approaches when it comes to commercial eVTOL operations, Amit tells us about the software systems and technologies needed to ensure they are safe, compliant, and integrated with existing ATM services.
Amit then shares some key partnerships and updates from ANRA partnered with NAVOS Air to develop vertiports for UAM and assesses the landscape of the current industry and the challenges and opportunities which lie ahead. -
In this episode, Don introduces us to Unico and its role within the global Advanced Air Mobility and goes into detail about the company's work behind the scenes.
This includes collaborating with some of the biggest names in electric aviation to simulate the rotation of the propeller drive unit from vertical in take-off mode to horizontal for forward flight.
Additional work which Unico does is allow the customer to test the battery range, so there is a clear understanding of how far the electric airplane can safely fly on one charge.
Don shares the learnings from this and also discusses some of the projects the company is currently working on, as well as giving his thoughts on the differences and similarities between e-mobility, vehicle electrification and eVTOL aircraft. -
