#valdoise / #iledefrance / #ParisRegion / #ChooseIDF / #AAMI / #AAM / #Ceevo95 : "AAM Institute Joins CEEVO in support of AAM in France" (Article Vertical) The Advanced Air Mobility Institute is thrilled to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Economic Expansion Committee of Val d’Oise (CEEVO) to collaborate on advancing the sustainable urban air mobility sector in France. This partnership aims to leverage the expertise and resources of both organizations to drive innovation, public acceptance, and regulatory advancements in the field. Jean-François Benon, managing director of CEEVO, expressed, “This agreement will be one of the vectors for facilitating knowledge exchange between CEEVO-The Val d’Oise Economic Development Agency, Paris region and Advanced Air Mobility Institute, by exploring use cases and sharing technological expertise to foster the air mobility decarbonization on local and global scale, and better anticipate tomorrow’s challenges.” Institute founder and president, Dan Sloat, highlighted the historical significance of France in aviation stating, “French aviation pioneers contributed substantially to the progress of powered flight in the early 1900s so it’s only natural that France has taken a strong leadership role in this new era of electrification. CEEVO is a welcome partner in the greater Paris region as economic development is essential to our mission of broad public benefit and public acceptance of AAM.” Together CEEVO and the AAM Institute will focus on developing policy frameworks at the Pontoise-Cormeilles-en-Vexin airport, the epicenter of this innovative project. CEEVO is committed to promoting economic development and innovation within the Val d’Oise region. By supporting sustainable urban air mobility initiatives, CEEVO aims to position the region as a leader in advanced transportation solutions. The Île-de-France Region, Choose Paris Region, RATP Group, and Groupe ADP launched an unprecedented initiative in Europe on October 1, 2020, to promote the French sustainable Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector. This initiative attracted 150 applications from 25 countries, focusing on vehicle development, urban infrastructure, operations, airspace integration, and public acceptability. Key highlights of CEEVO’s mission include collaborations with industry leaders like Airbus, Ehang, and Safran Electronics & Defense to develop innovative VTOL aircraft. Skyports and Green Motion have also partnered to create vertiports and charging systems. By working with Air France and CAE, they ensure seamless integration and maintenance of UAM systems. Additionally, CEEVO collaborates with ENAC and Thales SIX on the advancement of air traffic management systems, partnering with UC Berkeley and Ecole Polytechnique to research solutions for social and environmental challenges. https://lnkd.in/ei7vkgmR

When the Wright Brothers first flew the air machine over the beach in 1903, no one could have imagined the profound impact that #aviation would have on our society and day to day routines. Today, we enjoy the benefits of breakthrough technologies that were once unimaginable. However, when facing new technologies now, we often struggle to adapt because the existing infrastructures and regulations, which were designed for the previous "new technologies", now slow us down. It's never easy to make change and today's environment makes it even harder, but these disruptors could inspire us to think more creatively. Should we simply consider flying cars as a new form of transportation fitting into the current urban fabrics, or is there a room for us to redefine "#mobility" and "#connectivity", navigate a new path and perhaps transform our city planning and building design? In this article, our aviation expert Byron Thurber shared his views on "flying cars" and what it means for future cities. Arup #UrbanAirMobility #AdvancedAirMobility 

😎 Take chances, make mistakes.... The sky is no longer the limit in city traffic! 🚀 InnovationAlert 🌍 When I stood in front of the marvel of technology - a drone designed for passenger flight - at the #DubaiAirshow, my mind was full of possibilities. Because of my previous job at FACC AG I immediately recognized the potential. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is not just a futuristic dream, but the beginning of a new era of urban transportation. Imagine the skyline littered with these quiet, fast vehicles that are changing our urban landscapes and the way we perceive distance. 🌟 LIONLABS has always been about pioneering fire safety solutions. When I saw the potential of urban air mobility, I couldn't help but think about the safety challenges, especially the risk of battery fires in such compact, high-tech vehicles. 💡 The rise of UAM is being driven by visionaries and innovators. Companies such as Archer, Joby Aviation, Lilium, Volocopter and EHang (NASDAQ: EH) are leading the way in this field, each bringing unique solutions to the table. Their work is not just about overcoming gravity, but about making sustainable, efficient and safe air transportation a reality in the city. As we move towards a future where urban air mobility becomes a part of our daily lives, I invite you to join the discussion. ❓Have you already had any experience with urban air mobility in any form? Do you see it as an opportunity for our cities and our planet? #UrbanAirMobility #Batteryfire #FireSafetyInnovation #LIONLABS #SustainableFuture

Minna Salo presenting a teaser of recommendations to cities and the public sector from VTT’s AIMO (Innovative Air Mobility as Operator Business) project in the urban air mobility seminar organized by our partners Forum Virium Helsinki and Innoavia. AIMO is co-creation by 7 Finnish cities and 8 other stakeholders in different parts of the future air mobility value network. New business opportunities in logistics, initially parcels prior to people. In safety, surveillance, surveying and even to future metaverse service providers, think of real time digital twins of the built environment. Delivered sustainably, carbon neutrally and widely accepted by the society, generating productivity and exciting future careers. Key enabler is emergence of drone fleet operators, able to provide a multi-purpose flying platform in large scale under service contracts. Think also of remote pilot-as-a-service business, ground operations delivery, automation and data platforms to enable multi-purpose tasking to the fleets. Surprising new players will enter this business along with the usual suspects. Stay tuned for more detailed results after the summer break or get in touch with us at any time.

Imagine an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft as a railway system in the sky. In this concept, the eVTOL operates on designated aerial tracks, similar to railway lines, weaving through urban landscapes. Passengers board at elevated terminals, and the eVTOL glides silently and smoothly above the cityscape, guided by a network of aerial routes. This “sky railway” system offers a sustainable and efficient mode of urban transportation, alleviating traffic congestion and reducing environmental impact. It combines the convenience of on-demand air travel with the reliability and accessibility of a railway, promising a futuristic and eco-friendly solution for urban mobility challenges. #dorodesign #titanairmobility #mobilitydesign
