The Aerial Mobility Podcast, by TransportUP Naish Gaubatz

In this episode, TransportUP welcomes Ben Marchionna, Director of Technology & Innovation at Electra.aero. Electra.aero is developing an eSTOL (electric short take-off and landing aircraft) that utilizes blown lift technology to sustainably provide solutions for regional cargo and passenger transportation.
In this episode, Marchionna discusses the technology behind the aircraft's concept, the inspiration and journey to found the company, and its vision for the future of regional air transportation.

TransportUP welcomes Bruno Mombrinie, CEO and Founder of Metro Hop. In this episode, Bruno describes the process and design thinking behind his company's eSTOL - an electric short take-off and landing aircraft. Notably, the aircraft will be able to take off and land on urban rooftops, and carry the equivalent of two standard truckloads of cargo. 

Pegasus Universal Aerospace is developing the 'Vertical Business Jet', which uses four massive ducted fans embedded in the wings for vertical take-off.  In this ‘Quick Take’ 10-minute episode, Pegasus Founder Dr Reza Mia tells us about his aircraft’s development process, challenges, and outlook for the future.

TransportUP Welcomes Harrison Wolf, Project Lead of Aerospace and Drones at the World Economic Forum. In this episode, Harrison walks us through the key principles of aerial mobility safety and airspace regulations, and outlines how aerial vehicles may soon become a part of our everyday lives.

TransportUP interviews Rafi Yoeli, CEO of Israel-based Urban Aeronautics. Urban Aeronautics is developing a hydrogen-powered, vertical lift aircraft designed for use as an air taxi, air ambulance, and more.

Vertical Aerospace is a leader in eVTOL and air taxi technology in the U.K. Since 2017 and before, Vertical has worked tirelessly to create an aircraft that can bring the convenience and effectiveness of aviation to more people, in an environmentally safe way. Most notably, Vertical recently announced the ‘Seraph’ eVTOL, which broke the record for payload capacity carried by a vertical electric aircraft. In this episode, Michael discusses Vertical’s mission, its design philosophies, and its hopes for the future of aviation in the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic.
