#Electric #Aviation – Is It Mature? Part 1 – #Aircraft     As expected, there isn’t any flight display of e-aircraft at this year’s Farnborough International Airshow. Is that a step back from #ParisAirshow? Let’s check a few trends.     1. Growing fat   Aircraft are like humans – if unrestrained, they grow weight. Comparing current to earlier versions, there’s 25-47% increase of MTOM for, e.g. Archer Midnight, AutoFlight Prosperity I and Eviation Aircraft Alice. Others, such as Joby Aviation S4, Lilium Jet or Volocopter VoloCity “stay slim”. Those companies maintain a “non-negotiable” aircraft target mass.   2. Cruise speed drops   Some aircraft were supposed to be *fast*. Joby’s S4 was to cruise at 200 knots – now it’s 100. The Lilium Jet dropped from 300 to 248 km/h. And VoloCity from 100 to 90 km/h (correct me if I’m wrong about any). Turns out it’s *exactly* those aircraft which maintained their weight where cruise speed dropped by 10-50%.   In conclusion, while maturing, either cruise speed dropped or mass increased. If *neither* happens, conceptual design is mature :-)   3. More passengers   #EHang’s one-seater 184 is dead, now it’s the 2-pax 216. Archer killed its 2-pax Maker and Wisk’s 2-pax Cora is limited to test flights. Both companies went for 4-pax aircraft. Heart Aerospace went from 19 to 30 pax. That’s fine as MW chargers are now in commercial use. More seats mean more pax, a logic that fits commercial aircraft, even shuttles, but not necessarily air taxies. I’ll elaborate on that in a next post.   4. Versatile aircraft appear   There are two of them – the Bye Aerospace, Inc. e-Flyer 2 and the Elektra Solar GmbH Trainer. Both have 2.5 h endurance and 300 km range. Both can do pilot training, scenic flights and glider towing. If mass-produced, they may replace countless 2-seater Cessnas...   5. Still no dominant design   Conceptual designs differ massively, both for airplanes and eVTOL aircraft. Just because Archer, Wisk and Vertical Aerospace favour a similar configuration it doesn't mean it’s more performant than Joby’s, Eve Air Mobility’s or AutoFlight’s. Similarly, the Eviation Alice is designed for speed while the VÆRIDION Microliner is optimised for low consumption and low operating costs.   Different markets require different configurations – and it shows.   6. Bullshit aircraft fade away while copycats appear   However, the copycats meet increasingly well-informed (i.e. mature) investors. And get rejected, along with the nonsensical designs. Good.   7. Certification is progressing   Many companies are now Design Approval Holders. And flight testing is progressing, racking up beyond 10 000 hours (and miles). And the #VoloCity got flight permission for the #ParisOlympics. Finally, the Pyka Pelican is in commercial use.     In summary, we witness typical issues (fat, speed drop) among plenty of progress in unchartered territory: flying electric. Just not at #FIA2024. I am happy to be alive and developing right now – are you?

What is an eVTOL? An eVTOL, which stands for Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft, is a type of aircraft that takes off and lands vertically using electric propulsion. These vehicles are designed to be more environmentally friendly and quieter than traditional helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft. eVTOLs have gained attention in recent years as a potential solution for urban air mobility, with companies developing prototypes and concepts for various applications such as air taxis, medical transport, and cargo delivery. They typically use multiple electric motors and rotors to provide vertical lift and forward propulsion, offering potential benefits like reduced noise pollution, lower operating costs, and the ability to operate in densely populated urban areas. #FutureofAviation #GUAM #UrbanAirMobility #eVTOL

𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨: 𝙋𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙐𝘼𝙈 Vertiports are a significant step forward in achieving sustainable infrastructure for urban air mobility. These are the foundational enablers of 𝘈𝘈𝘔, facilitating the movement of passengers and goods more rapidly and efficiently than traditional transport infrastructures. Two different transportation models are being explored within the industry: 1. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽: This is a take-off and landing area for a 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 eVTOL. Applications such as customer pick-up and drop-off for short routes are also available. Vertistops can be created on existing infrastructures like buildings or helipads. 2. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: There consist of 𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 landing and take-off sites for eVTOL aircraft. Vertiports are also equipped with maintenance and charging facilities so that eVTOL aircraft can operate effectively. EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency is working closely with major companies such as Volocopter and vertiport developers like Skyports Infrastructure to develop infrastructure requirements and regulations to support 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 (𝘈𝘈𝘔) aircraft like eVTOLs. Take-off and landing are the most 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 phases of flight operation. Considering the broadest possible requirements of UAM environments and the type of VTOLs, there are 3 different 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚-𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨. 1. 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳 VTOLs take off from an elevated point such as a rooftop of a building. 2. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳 VTOLs take off in an area without any obstacles close by. 3. 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗼𝗳𝗳 Specifically designed for obstacle-rich environments, with a large portion of the VTOL trajectory being performed vertically. 🚀 The future of urban mobility is here, and it's taking flight!
