The collaborative Research and Development (R&D) will enable significant industry advancement, building one of the first motors designed specifically for mid-sized eVTOL aircraft
Star Charge's fast-charging system will be fully compatible with the Lilium Jets and other eVTOLs, and will feature an extra-long liquid cooled charging cable for high-performance charging, suitable for varied landing infrastructure
The project is the third awarded to Vertical Aerospace by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme and brings the total UK Government funding to £37 million
Telefónica Tech and EHang have joined forces to combine Telefónica's connectivity with EHang's technological capabilities in the urban air mobility (UAM) sector and deploy aerial mobility solutions with drones in Europe and Latin America
The initial fleet of piloted eVTOL aircraft will be used in "for credit" testing with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as Archer progresses toward its goal of commercialization in 2025
Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions (VI&E Solutions) and PowerUp America will collaborate to electrify the infrastructure at airports, vertiports, and other relevant electric mobility locations
Archer Aviation's Midnight eVTOL aircraft advanced through Phase 1 of its flight test program in only 3 months, covering an array of progressively more complex flight maneuvers and data gathering missions
The Electric VTOL Symposium, being held in Santa Clara, California from 6-8 February, will focus on the promise, progress and challenges of eVTOL aircraft
The companies will work to develop a concept of operations for Overair's Butterfly eVTOL, advance electric charging facilities at Clay Lacy's FBO locations, and explore the establishment of new vertiport facilities and services
Skyfly and AeroVolt will conduct test flights as part of the feasibility demonstrations for electric aircraft, confirming the compatibility of the Axe eVTOL with AeroVolt's charging and monitoring software
Under the agreement, the charger will be installed at Helo Holdings' heliport in Kearny, New Jersey, providing Joby Aviation with an operational base for its air taxi in the region
Safran Electrical & Power will design and produce electrical wiring for the Cassio 330's propulsion system and power distribution system, in particular the high-voltage wiring
The collaboration will focus on activating key Atlantic sites to support quiet, emission-free air taxis, including the installation of Joby's Global Electric Aviation Charging System (GEACS)
The companies have already installed one multimodal, interoperable charger at Elmira Regional Airport in New York, and have signed agreements for three additional locations, with more in the works
The AFWERX Agility Prime program has received a demonstration of a mobile battery care station by Arctech Charge designed to support eVTOL aircraft testing and operations, and providing charging for up to 36 batteries at a time
The Urban Air Mobility (UAM) center was built within a four-month period, and covers a total area of approximately 4,600 square meters, hosting facilities such as an vertiport, hangars, and a command-and-control center
The installation of a charger at John Wayne Airport (SNA), Orange County, will establish the site as a node in Joby Aviation's Southern California air taxi network
The partnership between LYTE Aviation, developer of the 40 seater eVTOL SkyBus and cargo eVTOL SkyTruck, and vertiport company Kookiejar is seen as the next logical step for heavy payload eVTOL delivery operations
