Transforming air travel: Design concept for hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft.    In early January, Switzerland-based startup SIRIUS AVIATION AG unveiled our design concept for the Sirius Jet – a high-performance, zero-emission VTOL aircraft powered by a hydrogen-electric propulsion system. This jet isn't just about reaching destinations; it's about pioneering a new era in aviation.   With a range of 1150 miles, it's set to transform air travel into an eco-friendly experience without compromising on performance and safety.   The goal of Sirius Aviation is a 2025 market launch of two versions of the Sirius Jet: the Business Jet, tailored to private jet needs, and the Millennium Jet, crafted for commercial aviation.   So far, the jet is still in its concept phase, but partnerships have already been established with Formula 1 designer Sauber Group, Alfleth Engineering, and ALD Group.   Stay tuned for more! #design #future #betterbeyondbeautiful

This is a kind of "final frontier" for #aviation in terms of addressing #climatechange and #sustainableaviation / #sustainability. As Vincent Foucart puts it: turn the question around and start with impact levers - then design for "minimum climate cost". Great project with an impressive team

🚀🌆 #IncheonMetropolitanCity, Institute for Aerospace Industry-Academia Collaboration, and MITRE have created a blueprint document for accelerating #AdvancedAirMobility (#AAM) in urban areas, publishing a ConceptOfOperations (#ConOps) for their city ecosystem. This document will set a global standard in adopting AAM, showcasing a future where aerial transport is an integral part of urban and regional transport networks. Key Takeaways: 1. Vision for the Future: AAM could offer unprecedented connectivity, aiming for #Incheon residents to reach any part of the broader region within 30 minutes. 2. AAM Integration: Incheon aims to seamlessly integrate AAM within its transport network, leveraging #ElectricPropulsion and #VerticalTakeoffAndLanding (#VTOL) aircraft and #Vertiports to connect communities more efficiently. 3. Use-Case Mapping: Having analyzed several use-cases (e.g. #IslandConnections, #EmergencyServices & #CargoDistribution), Incheon has a good understanding of technologically feasible, economically viable and socially desirable use-cases for their respective ecosystem. 4. Safety and Innovation Ecosystem: The initiative prioritizes safety, community trust, and enhancing quality of life through accessible, sustainable mobility options while encouraging innovative AAM and drone technology, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for growth. 5. Strategic Partnerships: Collaboration between public, private and social stakeholders and international partners will be pivotal to realizing Incheon's AAM objectives. 🎙️ From Incheon's Mayor Seung Yoon Jeong: "Incheon City is preparing for AAM this decade, aiming to address urbanization challenges and the climate crisis with an eco-friendly transportation method. Our vision is to transform urban life, making Incheon a connected, vibrant, and resilient community." 🌍 As municipalities and cities worldwide watch, Incheon's initiative underscores the increasing role local governments play in nurturing the legal, social, and commercial conditions necessary for AAM to flourish. #UrbanAirMobility #UAM #InnovativeAirMobility #IAM #DroneTech #AviationTech #UrbanInnovation #SustainableCities #FutureOfTransport
