This session highlights the diverse range of aircraft architectures currently in development, comparing the unique market advantages of eVTOL for urban centres against eSTOL & UltraSTOL for regional connectivity. Industry leaders will debate which technologies are best suited for specific "Sea-to-Sky" corridors, including Islands/Remote Regions.
This session identifies the key players driving the commercial roll-out of AAM, bringing together the manufacturers (OEMs), the companies that will fly them (Operators), and the financial engines (Lessors and Investors) that make it possible. The panel will discuss emerging business models, such as aircraft leasing for Airtaxi fleets, and how these stakeholders are managing risk to ensure the industry scales at a pace that matches both technological readiness and market demand.
This session examines the critical transition from prototype testing to official type certification with Regulators such as EASA, FAA and ENAC. Experts will discuss the remaining hurdles in airworthiness requirements, the latest timelines for commercial entry, and highlight key collaborative efforts between OEMs and civil aviation authorities.
This Panel focuses on what the operators want. As the novelty of AAM transitions into operational reality, this session shifts focus to the financial sustainability of the industry. Where are the profitable opportunities now, such as congestion busting, new direct regional services or certain niche Drone and Airtaxi roles? And looking slightly further ahead, opportunities such as focused feed into established networks and hubs.
Focusing on the "workhorses" of AAM, this panel examines the rapidly scaling world of cargo and specialised drones, ranging from small-scale, last-mile delivery units, to super-heavy-lift platforms, to medical, surveillance, security and much more. Given the location, the Panel will also address the transformative impact these platforms are having on maritime logistics and supply chain efficiency.
This session will update delegates on the "hidden" innovations that are enabling AAM flight, specifically the roles of Artificial Intelligence and autonomous systems in managing complex flight paths and reducing pilot workload. Additionally, the panel will highlight breakthroughs in advanced materials and composites that are making airframes lighter and stronger, as well as the software platforms required to manage "on-demand" flight requests in real-time.
A deep dive into the physical requirements of AAM’s rapidly evolving infrastructure; this panel looks at the "bricks and mortar" of Electric Aviation. From modular vertiports and maritime landing pads to the repurposing of existing regional airports. The discussion focuses on the engineering challenges of building landing sites in dense urban or sensitive maritime environments and the strategic importance of creating "multi-modal" hubs that can handle a variety of aircraft types.
A technical examination of the powerplants of AAM, this topic compares the viability of purely battery-electric systems against hydrogen fuel cells, hybrid-electric models and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Experts will debate the energy density requirements for different mission profiles such as short urban hops versus long-range regional flights and identify which propulsion technologies are currently winning the race for certification and mass production.
This panel addresses why and how AAM is coalescing around Multi-Modal Networks, within the AAM family. From Vertical to Horizontal, from Land to Sea and from City to Region, the Low Altitude Economy requires a wide diversity of drones, Airtaxis and Amphibians. This session looks at why and how successful Major Networks must embrace this challenge.
Specifically tailored for the Mediterranean, Island and Coastal markets, this topic explores the resurgence of seaplanes and amphibious aircraft through the lens of electric propulsion. Experts will discuss how eSeaplanes provide a sustainable solution for island nations and coastal marinas like those in Genoa or Greece.
