LYTE Aviation is rapidly moving forward to revolutionize AAM (Advanced Air Mobility). The SkyBus 40-seater may very well be a gamechanger in several segments of AAM, specially regarding RAM (Regional Air Mobility). Congratulations to Freshta Farzam and everyone @ LYTE Aviation for their work and open-minded views. From new airlines with disruptive business models, all the way to reconfiguring and giving new life to underutilized regional/GA airports, and developing brand new vertiport concepts, I am sure regional aviation in 2040 will be very, very different (and much more developed!) than nowadays. Hundreds of opportunities are already on the table... and they are multiplying... #regionaldevelopment #regional #ram #airports #evtol #evtols #aam #regionalintegration #airlines #airlineeconomics #businessmodels #vertiports

Aerospace startup Natilus is set to revolutionize air travel with its Horizon Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft. This innovative design aims to carry 200 passengers from New York to London with 50% lower emissions compared to traditional aircraft. Unlike the conventional wings-and-cylinder configuration that has dominated aviation since the 1930s, the BWB design seamlessly blends the wing and body, reducing drag and increasing efficiency. The Horizon will also offer 40% more volume for cargo, passengers, or fuel, making it an attractive option for hydrogen-powered flights. CEO Aleksey Matyushev highlights the Horizon's potential to enhance aviation economics while promoting sustainability. Expected to be ready by the early 2030s, this ambitious project could challenge the dominance of Boeing and Airbus, although it faces hurdles such as airport modifications and passenger comfort concerns. Natilus' bold strategy could pave the way for a new era in civil aviation. #Aerospace #Natilus #BlendedWingBody #SustainableAviation #AviationInnovation #GreenAirTravel #FutureOfFlight #CleanEnergy #AviationEconomics #HydrogenAircraft

https://lnkd.in/ebNGhUrY Regional Air Mobility in an area like Lombardy really is a perfect fit for the shorter range, smaller passenger aircraft like Lilium Jet. Maintaining the routes so that the aircraft can fly at lower altitudes helps with less power required for any VTOL operations (less time in hover) and eliminates the need for pressurization systems. It will be interesting to see if the performance at altitude will be a limitation for further expansion into the Alps or southern France. The need for pressurization over 10,000 MSL will require significant weight penalty for the equipment. A hybrid-electric aircraft would be much more suited for those over mountain routes at this point. I wonder where the companies like Heart Aero, Horizon Aircraft, Jaunt Air Mobility, and Volt Aero are on expanding into these markets (European RAM). Their products would be perfectly suited for this market. #aam #lilium #heartaero #horizonaircraft #jaunt #voltaero #singleseatconsulting

🛫✨ Excited to learn that Kirkwall will have the first operational #hydrogen-electric flying service by 2027 courtesy of Loganair Limited, who has signed an MOU with Cranfield Aerospace Solutions. 👉A significant step towards the Scottish Government’s Update to the Climate Change Plan which set the ambition for Scotland’s internal passenger flights to be #decarbonised by 2040. Loganair is the UK’s largest regional airline and operates lifeline services between all the Scottish Islands and the mainland of Scotland. Driven by a commitment to sustainability, Loganair has set an ambitious goal to achieve Net Zero across all of its operations by 2040. This underscores the airline’s proactive approach toward sustainable aviation, including the potential adoption of CAeS’s hydrogen fuel cell technology into their Islander fleet. Meanwhile, CAeS continues pioneering in developing a proprietary hydrogen fuel-cell (#HFC) propulsion system. Initially tailored for the Britten-Norman Islander, this ground-breaking technology holds the promise of extending to a spectrum of manned and unmanned platforms, including cargo aircraft, thereby amplifying the potential for widespread sustainability in aviation. 🔗Read more: https://lnkd.in/eP6WkTwu

The Future Opportunities for Seaplanes and Amphibious Aviation (FOSAA) conference made its debut in Venice last week, and of course our own Eric Lithun was present! 😎 Read some of his thoughts in this article by Revolution.Aero 👇 #FOSAA #electricaviation

Over 265.000+ views, 16.8K likes and 280 comments on TikTok in 4 days. 😱 The Electron 5 has been flying under the radar for a little while, but is starting to skyrocket in the public eye as more and more people come to realise that a clean sheet, customer-centric, composite aircraft design is the most economical way to electrify commercial air transport. This fine aircraft will service a sector that is often not thought of first in air transport, the sub 2 hour micro charter/on demand sector. But with a little evolution on service delivery, this aircraft could service up 70% of Europe's current air travel demands by range and performance. That is a staggeringly large revenue potential. That's why this aircraft is the hero of the FlyOnE fleet and will shakedown the legacy aircraft operators, their aging fleets and their 'cattle-herding' business models in ways they can't yet conceive.
