The eVTOL Insights Podcast The eVTOL Insights Podcast

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.

In this episode, Dr Elgammal introduces us to The Coretec Group and where it fits into the emerging Advanced Air Mobility market.

He tells us about the advantages of silicon anodes and why they are critical to eVTOL aircraft development, plus gives us an idea at what stage the industry is at when it comes to batteries for electric aircraft - especially with some companies targeting commercial operations as early as 2026.

We talk about the various projects the Coretec Group is working on, and what can be done to minimise the environmental impact on eVTOL production. And finally, we discuss the efficient and lightweight energy storage solutions to improve efficiency, extend flight range and boost overall performance.

In this episode, Dan and Jeff introduce us to FPD and tell us more about the company and its role with the Advanced Air Mobility market.

We discuss the need for reliable and qualified suppliers to the industry and the topic of weight when it comes to aircraft. The pair tell us more about the ongoing projects FPD is working on, and share their insights on what they're seeing in the industry at the moment.

In this episode, Sandra tells about the overarching vision of eVertiSKY, the background behind setting the company up and the particular reasons for embarking on this journey.

We hear more about the company's current roadmap, the current projects it is working on, and also from Sandra on what state she thinks Urban Air Mobility is at. She talks about the factors cities should consider when looking to implement UAM, the existing challenges and limitations, and what role regulation will play in the industry's growth.

Kate loves to fly, so in this episode, she tells us more about her aviation background and her career to-date before setting up CAYRES. We go into more detail about the particular reasons why the company was set up, and also hear from Kate on her insights when it comes to Advanced Air Mobility in Canada.

CAYRES' clients features an exhaustive list of businesses, ranging from real estate and property to construction enterprises and port authorities, so Kate tells us about the services it can offer and what kind of conversations keep coming up in her dialogues with various stakeholders.

We then focus on the various projects CAYRES has lined up, before finishing off by talking about community integration.

In this episode, James explains more about his journey to-date and the reasons that led him to set up Odys Aviation. As a sustainable aircraft startup, he tells us about the role it hopes to play in the market and the aircraft it is building.

We hear about his thoughts on Regional Air Mobility (RAM), especially as it makes for a compelling use case when compared to other shorter journeys using eVTOL aircraft. Sticking with RAM, James gives his take on what he's been hearing about the speed to market of hybrid RAM aircraft vs eVTOL, and that many suggest hybrid RAM will be that stepping stone to the next generation of aviation.

As Odys will use city airports and local helipads, we ask James if the company has any specific routes identified and the importance of utilising existing landing infrastructure.
