The #NYC Economic Development Corporation is continuing to push for #electrification of New York's #heliports, touting the potential for quieter #eVTOL #aircraft to displace noisy #helicopters. Some notes from me on their latest press release: https://theaircurrent.com/dispatches/?entry=27664

There’s been a lot of intense discussion this past week regarding #eVTOL #aircraft vs. #helicopters. Can’t we all just get along?! Coincidentally, that’s the underlying theme of my latest article for The Air Current, which explores whether there should be separate #FAA advisory circulars for eVTOL #vertiports and #heliports. “Probably not” is the answer that a growing number of eVTOL and #helicopter players seem to agree on. #aviation https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-policy/momentum-builds-against-standalone-evtol-vertiport-standards/

The safety guidebook Helicopter Rotor Downwash: Preventing the Adverse Effects of Rotor Downwash is now available in English: https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/guidance_material_helicopter_downwash.pdf. This guidance document provides a lot of good information as well as lessons learned and best practices "from the field to the field" on the risks associated with the rotor downwash hitting the ground. 🚁

We had a fantastic #INF2023 workshop last month in Cape May, NJ. Many thanks to
@VTOLsociety for putting this event together. Are you a VFS member?

The new guidebook on Preventing the Adverse Effects of Rotor Downwash (in French) is now available on the website of DGAC (France): https://www.ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/Guide_souffle_rotor_DSAC_05%20nov_2022_VF.pdf. 📕
It was a pleasure to contribute to the development of this guidebook "from the field to the field". The document is only available in French for now, but it might be translated in English in the near future... Stay tuned! 🚁 🌬️
