Tony Harrington's commentary here highlights how pilot programs using smaller aircraft are helping to bring #AAM to reality sooner than some might expect.
UPLIFTING PROSPECT Inspired application - while passenger versions of electric air taxis progress lengthy certification processes - and in multiple cases urgent scrambles for critical funding - Fiji Airways has just partnered with US-based start-up Odys Aviation for potential deployment of its autonomous freight version, Laila, from as early as next year. With Fiji’s broad spread of 330 islands, many with limited or even no airport infrastructure, remotely-piloted hybrid-powered aircraft offer significant potential for critical cargo deliveries, including in conditions too dangerous for piloted conventional craft. Based on its initial network studies, Odys expects the required number of aircraft for Fiji to be close to 25, and the joint test programme by the companies in 2025 will aim to support that number. #sustainableaviation #freight #fiji #fijiairways #odysaviation

"Potential operators and customers are now defining missions which require much greater payloads and longer flight range than the 108nm (200km) maximum offered by most first-generation air taxis, which are largely powered by electric batteries."
