Description:
The aerospace industry has started a technological revolution, with the multiplication of eVTOL projects within existing aviation companies and in start-ups, building upon legacy OEM experience and some being driven by aviation enthusiasts who are exploring new forms of mobility. Some will be ready to enter into service by 2025, however, work is still on-going on an enabling globally harmonized regulatory framework. Regulators, concept developers, manufacturers, air navigation service providers and the global aviation community, at large, must work together to ensure a safe and orderly entry of this new technology into airspace.In this context, it is essential to understand the respective challenges of both eVTOL developers and regulators, as those may also be shared in other parts of the world. The conversation held during the webinar aims to identify the opportunities to approach those challenges differently, to the benefit of air mobility.
