The eVTOL Insights Podcast The eVTOL Insights Podcast

In this episode, Pat introduces us to Tinley Park and shares more detail on how the area might benefit from Advanced Air Mobility.

He tells us about his role and Tinley Park's involvement in Eve Air Mobility demo in Chicago back in 2022, and gives his thoughts on whether the Windy City could become a future city for Advanced Air Mobility operations, especially with potential operations from O'Hare International Airport. We also hear Pat's thoughts 'from the outside' of the industry, when it comes to infrastructure and community support.

Pat also discusses the ongoing project to renovate Tinley Park's helistop and converting to a heliport with fuel and infrastructure for future electric charging.

In this episode, Guillaume shares an update on Wisk's company roadmap and ongoing work to develop its Gen 6 aircraft, including when we can see more flight testing. He talks about the recent Iron Bird video, as well as diving into why Wisk is going down the autonomy route.

Sticking with autonomy, we talk about the passenger experience on board Wisk's aircraft before discussing the company's partnership with Sugar Land in Texas and ongoing presence in Montreal, including why it chose the city and what makes it such a good place to set up an aerospace company.

In this episode, Ben and Lee introduce us to Drive System Design (DSD) and what the company is working on in the Advanced Air Mobility market.

As DSD is helping to fast-track the development of electric aircraft, we learn more about this, as well as one of the company's products the AePOP project or Aerospace Electrified Powertrain Optimisation Process.

While there are many challenges to solve in this market, we ask Ben and Lee what their top three would be and how DSD is best suited to resolve them.

In this episode, Dave tells us more about the company's growing role in Advanced Air Mobility and the exhaustive list of partners it is working with to build the next generation of aircraft.

Dave also shares more details on Project OperA, which was launched to help bring autonomous flight to Europe, and what is believed to be the industry's first certification reference guide across key vehicle segments.

We also talk about Honeywell's AAM business unit has so far, which has secured contracts worth an incredible $10 billion, and what this says about the industry and its progress so far.

In this episode, Amit deep dives into some of the various public and private eVTOL trials the companies have been involved in. He tells us what findings it took from them and goes on to talk about how ANRA can play a key role in the Advanced Air Mobility market.

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.
