🚀 AAM 2024 Session Focus: "Let’s Make Some Room for AAM Integration" The diverse operations covered under AAM, from the simplest and smallest UAS to the more complex eVTOL urban operations, have one thing in common: they are often perceived as having the potential to disrupt the tried-and-true tenets of conventional aviation. Throughout its history, aviation has adapted and safely integrated new entrants into its system, and the same should apply with AAM. The new and promising technologies behind the AAM “evolution” offer new solutions for aviation stakeholders and new services for many outside aviation. This session will explore how regulators and other stakeholders can work together to realize the opportunities for safe and efficient integration of new and conventional aviation. Session moderated by Claude H., Director, Environment & Flight Operations, IBAC Confirmed speakers: H.E. Abdulaziz Bin Abdullah Al Duailej, President of the GACA - General Authority of Civil Aviation - Saudi Arabia James Viola, Chief Executive Officer, Vertical Aviation International Filip Cornelis, Director for Aviation, European Commission Mike Mueller, Vice-Chair, ICCAIA - International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations 📅 Event details: Date: 9-12 September 2024 Location: ICAO Headquarters, Montréal For more information on the event, programme and other sessions, visit the event's page: https://lnkd.in/exUphMpP #AAM2024 #AviationIntegration #FutureOfAviation #InnovationInAviation #ICAO #AdvancedAirMobility

#ICYMI: Joby completes 523-mile flight with hydrogen-electric demonstrator! Joby Aviation recently announced a significant milestone, completing a 523-mile/842 kilometre flight with a hydrogen-electric air taxi demonstrator and landing with still 10 percent of its hydrogen fuel load remaining. The majority of energy for the flight was provided by liquid hydrogen. The hybrid-powered demonstrator retains the same airframe and aircraft architecture as its fully electric counterpart, utilizing six electric propulsion units for its tilting propellers and a unified flight control system.

🚀 AAM 2024 session focus: "Now Hiring – Staffing the New AAM"   Aviation relies on a workforce possessing highly specialized knowledge and skill sets, developed and refined over decades. This knowledge base is an excellent starting point for developing the AAM workforce. However, as we step into the future of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), we must consider new elements such as the anticipated scale of AAM operations, innovative aircraft designs, alternative power sources, the use of vertiports, and autonomy.   This session will delve into the opportunities and challenges in developing the AAM workforce, exploring necessary skillsets, the role of regional and local authorities, the development of academic and professional training organizations and programs, employment equities, and more. How will these factors influence the future of aviation and the development of the AAM workforce?   Session moderated by Paula V. de Almeida, LL.M., M.Ed.   Confirmed speakers: Poppy Khoza, Director of Civil Aviation, SACAA Marc Parent, CM, CEO, CAE P. Barry Butler, President, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Paolo La Cava, CEO, Etihad Aviation Training Michael Cervenka, Chief Commercial & Technology Officer, Vertical Aerospace Group Ltd.   📅 Event details: Date: 9-12 September 2024 Location: ICAO Headquarters, Montréal   For more information on the event, programme and other sessions, have a look at the event's page: https://lnkd.in/exUphMpP   #AAM2024 #AviationCareers #FutureOfWork #InnovationInAviation #ICAO #AdvancedAirMobility
