MUNICH is the best place to be! according to Lufthansa Innovation Hub, V2Air, Roland Berger and Unisphere. In a massive research project the best places to launch a Advanced Air Mobility have been identified. Six factors have been analysed to find the best spots: 1. Terrain 2. Airspace 3. Authority 4. Weather 5. Area 6. Time Saving The results: Munich is in the Prime zone of future Advanced Air Mobility, offering best viability and best feasibility. So ODONATA is in one of the best spots in the world, and the best in Europe for its business to bring an eVTOL with about 1,000km range and a payload of up to 800 kg to market. Our use cases of crossing the alps from Munich to lake Garda confirm excactly those results. Saving time, saving money and having less stress on the road.

Access is not the same as accessibility. Through intensive research, we have identified what it takes to be truly accessible. ℹ️ Physical and information access ♿ Physical safety, including physical comfort 🙂 Emotional safety: Mitigating the stress and vulnerability during travel 💸 Equal expenditure & efficiency 😊 Joy & inclusion Our recently released whitepaper, eVTOL Air Taxis: New Opportunities for Equitable Transport, synthesizes the most significant challenges for AAM around creating a valuable and equitable travel experience for everyone.

Hi, I’m Laxman Kafle, shining like a beacon of digital success. I often say this when meeting new people because 'Laxman' means 'a sign' or 'symbol'. Fun fact: in the epic Ramayana, Laxman is the devoted brother of Ram, who helped his brother achieve victory and success. I aim to bring that same spirit of dedication and support to my work in marketing. 😅 Lately, I’ve been absolutely fascinated by the advancements in eVTOL technology. Imagine soaring above traffic in an eVTOL taxi! The future of urban air mobility is here, and it’s set to transform our cities and lives. Curious? Check out more about this revolutionary tech at eVTOL.Travel.

The AAM landscape in 2024 is marked by promising advances and growing challenges. Significant progress includes Joby Aviation's regulatory milestones, strategic alliances for eVTOL deployment, and notable certification achievements by companies like Ehang. These developments underscore the sector's momentum toward commercial readiness. However, AAM faces considerable hurdles. Despite the demand for urban air mobility, the industry struggles with scalability, a lack of supporting infrastructure, regulatory variations, and unsustainable business models. A new "AAM Readiness Radar" by Lufthansa Innovation Hub identifies eight critical areas for AAM success, from technology and funding to ecosystem integration. Investment and regulatory inconsistencies, along with overestimated demand and underestimated operational costs, cast doubt on AAM's economic viability. The focus now shifts to balanced ecosystem growth and realistic financial strategies to navigate the path forward in urban air mobility. 🛫 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dXuQ6pei
