Sener has completed the delivery of the initial units intended for certification testing and is on track to supply the first 100 flight servo-actuators within this year.

Honeywell has beenselected by Lilium, the developer of the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet, to supply propulsion unit position sensors for the Lilium Jet.

One of the touted standouts of the Paris Olympics was supposed to be the flying taxi, Volocopter – yet it never came to be.

Rosenberger, one of the leading connector suppliers worldwide, provides the high-voltage electrical harness systems for the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (‘eVTOL’) jet developed by Lilium N.V.

The inception of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) dates back to 2016 when Uber introduced their Elevate conference.

The market for urban air mobility (UAM) is attracting increased investment. The development and certification of a UAM aircraft will cost around $2 billion. For newcomers to the sector, to raise such funds means it is inevitable that much of their activity must be in the public eye.

Multiple thrusters are one thing in aircraft. In vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) they reduce the efficiency deficit with helicopters, providing unmatched redundancy and stability in wind. However, the term distributed propulsion (DP) primarily refers to a fundamentally new form of wing that intimately blends aerodynamics with thrust and zero emissions.

Electric vehicles by land, water and air are rapidly arriving and rapidly being misunderstood. For example, the battery cost will be overtaken by the other electricity management from the solar bodywork on your Tesla pick-up truck, its motors, power electronics. Motors last forever? No. We now push motors so hard they wear out, increasing sales.

A start-up company hosted in an ESA business incubator is developing the world’s first vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for personal use. The electric two-seater will open the door to a new class of simpler, quieter and environmentally friendly planes available from 2018.
