‘Flying Cars’ Will Take Off in American Skies This Summer | WIRED https://www.wired.com/story/flying-cars-will-take-off-in-american-skies-this-summer/ #technology #flyingcars #eVTOLs #transportation #Texas #Florida #NewYork

Flying Taxis Are Coming to Uber This Year. The Launch Date Is Set for the First City https://www.inc.com/leila-sheridan/flying-taxis-are-coming-to-uber-this-year-the-launch-date-is-set-for-the-first-city/91309269 #Uber #AirTaxis #Joby #Dubai #eVTOLs #technology #transportation #aviation

The #FAA made an early decision to certify #eVTOLs within its existing framework of aircraft categories: airplane, powered-lift, rotorcraft. But what initially looked like a way to streamline the introduction of these novel aircraft has gotten considerably more complicated, as reflected in the debate around the powered-lift SFAR and, now, the ambiguities surrounding special class #rotorcraft. More details in my latest story for The Air Current. #aviation #evtol https://theaircurrent.com/regulation/faa-approach-evtol-certification-leaves-regulatory-gaps-multicopters/

Interesting article but the expression "flying car" is misleading: https://djsaviation.net/boeing-wants-to-build-a-flying-car/. Are we talking about PAVs? Or larger #eVTOLs for the air taxi market? Is a significant change in rules & regs in Asia expected by 2030? Unless we can literally use them like the DeLorean in #BTTF 2, these are #aircraft. 🚁 #airtravel #aviation #mobility #transportation

Electric #aviation is not all about #eVTOLs. Hybrid propulsion systems can also power larger fixed-wing CTOL #aircraft. Reg'l #aircraft are good candidates for introducing these techs.

These #aircraft, commonly called #eVTOLs, range from delivery drones to urban air taxis. They are designed to rise into the air like a #helicopter and fly using wing-borne lift like an #airplane.

Did you miss last week's NASEM/TRB webinar on Planning for the Emergence of #UAM at #Aviation Facilities? We've got you covered! Here is the recording: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/848_02-2024_trb-webinar-planning-for-the-emergence-of-urban-air-mobility-at-aviation-facilities#sl-three-columns-f839e5b5-39fb-42f3-9e2a-82d6bd5330f7. 🚁🔋

This is your daily reminder that the very large majority of #eVTOLs shall not be called "flying cars". It's misleading unless the machine is a Personal Aerial Vehicle that meets both car & plane standards, can safely drive/takeoff/fly/land anywhere, and is authorized to do so! A few OEMs are getting there but it's a niche–not the bulk of aerial innovation. These vehicles are often more "roadable #aircraft " than "flying cars". 🚗🛩️ #aerospace #engineering #mobility

Register for our free NASEM/TRB webinar on Planning for the Emergence of Urban Air #Mobility (#UAM) at #Aviation Facilities that will be held on Feb. 28 at 1PM ET: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/848_02-2024_trb-webinar-planning-for-the-emergence-of-urban-air-mobility-at-aviation-facilities. 🚁

Among other things, #eVTOLs should feature lower operating costs, quieter operations & zero emissions. This will make a big difference when it comes to operating nearby or within urban areas.

Helijet, which currently provides helicopter flight service in British Columbia, plans to join the #electric #aviation revolution and add Beta Technologies' #Alia electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft - also known as #eVTOLs or flying taxis - to its fleet. https://www.geekwire.com/2023/helijet-alia-evtol-beta-technologies-canada/ #eVTOL

#eVTOLs are not going to "whisk people": https://apnews.com/article/insider-joeben-bevirt-joby-aviation-97a051ba488c31dd3d5042b2daeff722. Or at least no more, no less than existing #helicopters & small airplanes. Electric air taxis are not Jetson's flying cars. These #aircraft will be subject to rules & regulations set for ensuring safe, secure & sustainable operations. 🚁 #aviation #evtols #mobility #verticalflight #vertiports #vtols

#JumpAero is collaborating with the Utah DOT’s Aerospace Division to explore the use of purpose-built eVTOLs for rural first-responder missions: https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/advanced-air-mobility/jump-aero-partners-utah-dot-study-fast-response-evtols. 🚁⛑️ #aircraft #aviation #engineering #eVTOLs #FirstResponders #mobility #PublicHealth #VerticalFlight #VTOLs

Electric planes are the future of flight. Novel aircraft like eVTOLs can take off and land without a runway. This could open new possibilities for travel, transport, and sustainability in the aviation industry. #electric #flight #evtols https://www.slashgear.com/1391420/electric-planes-future-of-flight/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

#Hydrogen has a role to play in the future of #aviation. But which one(s)? Fuel cell powertrains for #eVTOLs & regional #aircraft are emerging. What about hydrogen gas turbine aircraft? Which airport supply chains?
