    eVTOL: Exploring Future Flight today

    Advanced Air Mobility will see people and goods move between urban and regional areas using innovative aircraft like electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles. eVTOL offers the potential for new, faster and cleaner ways for people and goods to travel. In this episode we’re joined by the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s Technical Strategy Portfolio Manager, Darryl Abelscroft who discusses the Civil Aviation Authority’s role in enabling the safe introduction of Advanced Air Mobility. Alongside Darryl, David King, Vertical Aerospace’s Chief Engineer joins us to discuss their role and work as an eVTOL manufacturer in the UK.

    AI in aerospace - the CAA’s response

    Automation and autonomy already play a key role in many aspects of aerospace, including autopilot and air traffic management, but the future is enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), and has the potential to impact every part of the aerospace sector. In this episode, we’re joined by James Bell, Innovation Strategy Lead, who has led the work for the UK CAA’s Strategy for Artificial Intelligence.  We hear from Florian Ostmann, Director of AI Governance and Regulatory Innovation with the Turing Institute about how AI has evolved in recent years and what the future holds.  We also speak to Vicki Murdie from the Future Flight Team at Innovate UK to learn about potential new uses of AI across the aviation landscape. Further information related to this episode The CAA's Strategy for Artificial IntelligenceThe Alan Turing Institute About the Future Flight Challenge Launched in 2019 the Future Flight Challenge is a £125 million investment in the UK’s aviation industry, designed to deliver the third revolution in aviation. Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), advanced air mobility (AAM) and zero-carbon aircraft will come together to transform how we connect people, deliver goods and provide services. The challenge is delivered by Innovate UK and the Economic and Social Research Council on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

    Study on London's future flight

    In this episode we talk with Brenden Hedblom from the Eve Consortium on its new concept of operations (CONOPS) into how future types of flying, such as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, could be safety incorporated into London’s airspace.

    Trialling medical deliveries by drone during COVID-19 - Part 3 of 3

    In the third and final part of this series we look at how medical deliveries by drone could help support the health service in remote communities across the UK. We speak with Alex Brown, Head of Operations at Skyports about a recent trial that saw drones making medical deliveries between four NHS hospitals in the Scottish Highlands. This project, which reduced the average transport time from 20 hours to 1 hour, involved drones carrying cargo including COVID-19 tests, pathology samples and medicine while flying up to 60kms beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).

    Trialling medical deliveries by drone during COVID-19 - Part 2 of 3

    In part two of our three part series we hear about a recent trial that explored using drones for medical deliveries, including essential PPE items, from Cornwall to remote communities on the Isles of Scilly. This project involved Royal Mail and a consortium funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) who we featured in the first part of this series. We speak with Chris Paxton from the Royal Mail, Gareth Whatmore, CEO of Droneprep which led the consortium and Alex Brown from Skyports about the trial, its achievements and what is coming next.

    Trialling medical deliveries by drone during COVID-19 - Part 1 of 3

    In this episode we begin a three part series that looks at how drones have been used to help the NHS response to COVID-19. We're joined by Simon Masters and Dawn MacGregor from UKRI (UK Research and Innovation), the UK's largest public funder of research and innovation. UKRI's work includes the 'Future flight challenge' which aims to bring together technologies in electrification, aviation systems and autonomy to create new modes of air travel and capability. Some of the projects funded by the 'Future flight challenge' so far have included using drones to support the NHS and emergency services during the COVID-19 pandemic. You'll hear about how these projects were selected, the benefits they can deliver and how the CAA's Innovation team helped support this work.

    Urban Air Traffic Management

    Electric air taxis, also called electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), will soon be operational. These ‘green’ aircraft will deliver on-demand urban flights and make trips across cities quick, easy and more affordable. In this episode speak with Brenden Hedblom and David Rottblatt from Eve Air Mobility about the work that is taking place to support the growth of urban air mobility (UAM) in the UK. Eve Air Mobility is leading a consortium of world leading aviation organisations that is working with the UK CAA to define the airspace design, procedures and infrastructure required for safely integrating new types of electric air taxi operations into the UK’s low level airspace.
