For AAM, Vertical May Not Just Be for Take Off, It Could Be Good for Electrode Alignment Too
Vertically Aligned Electrodes May Improve Battery Charging Times by 500%
Vertically aligned electrodes may improve battery charging times by 500 percent.
Are Two Wings Better Than None for an eVTOL?
If You Want to Go the Distance, the Answer May Be ‘Yes.’
Researchers believe a tandem-wing eVTOL could enable travel between central European cities.
eVTOLs Gone in the Wind?
Headwinds, Tailwinds, and Crosswinds Key Concerns for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles
More than half of weather-related aviation accidents are caused by wind. Research into how wind impacts eVTOLs is being addressed.
Let There Be LiDAR Onboard Your UAVs
It’s a Million Times Faster Than Radar
Researchers are studying how Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) systems might be used to help keep uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) safe.
How Far, How Long, Will Your Batteries Let Your eVTOL Fly?
In aviation, time is money. This is also true in UAM.
They say time is money. Perhaps nowhere is the consumer-operator more conscious of time than in aviation. Travelers worry if their flight is on-time. If departure is delayed, they worry they’ll be able to connect from one flight to another. Flight operators fret over aircraft availability, regulations dictating crew time for safe operations, and myriad…
