Scaling hybrid eVTOL tech with Ascendance Flight Technologies
Global demand for sustainable aircraft has risen exponentially in the past few years, and so has the number of companies who have joined the race to green aviation. The emergence of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is redefining the aerospace industry and the future of air travel.
Opportunities for startups as well as small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have skyrocketed, driving new trends and technological developments in the aerospace industry. But the pursuit of low-carbon aviation also comes with challenges – namely certification, safety and noise reduction – that must be tackled quickly and efficiently in order to succeed in such a rapidly changing market.
In this roundtable, industry experts and French startup Ascendance Flight Technologies explore the future of sustainable air mobility and the ways to reach it.
