Wisk and ReD Associates have released a White Paper which explores the Advanced Air Mobility industry’s potential for providing safe, fast and affordable mobility solutions for people with disabilities. Many forms of transport still face challenges in providing 'consistent, efficient, affordable, and accessible services and people with disabilities continue to encounter barriers to mobility'. The rise of Advanced Air Mobility and the development of air taxis for passenger use presents an opportunity to address these barriers and improve the quality of mobility experiences. The report entitled 'eVTOL Air Taxis: New Opportunities for Equitable Transport', integrates the most significant challenges for AAM and provides a call to action to mobility providers to place accessibility at the centre of the industry. The White Paper also outlines the research conducted by both companies alongside the key findings. They underscore the need for AAM to redefine accessibility while accentuating five distinct levels. https://lnkd.in/e3EUFV2F #wisk #whitepaper #advancedairmobility #usa #research #airtaxi #electricaviation #accessibility #airtaxi #evtol

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.
