VoltAero’s Post

Excited to share another perspective of the Bluefin Tuna project! 🚁🐟 This initiative demonstrates that we can truly push the boundaries of innovation in aviation, particularly with helicopter platforms. I'm deeply passionate about advancing our field and exploring new frontiers in aeromechanics and aerodynamic design. For more details on this project, check the first comment. Stay tuned for more updates!

What will eVTOL vertiports look like for passengers in the UK    📰 Consultation launched by the UK Civil Aviation Authority on vertiport design at existing aerodromes. 📜  New policy will prepare the Advanced Air Mobility industry for the entry of electrically powered VTOL aircraft into the aviation industry in the UK. The UK Civil Aviation Authority has launched a consultation on design proposals for vertiports at existing aerodromes, paving the way for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft operations in the United Kingdom.   Will there be one located nearby in the future #evtol #aam #engineering #future #aerospace #innovation

The biggest one yet? Perhaps not—but guaranteed there’s never been a Heli-Expo as widely ranging. It’s part of the reason the 70-yr-plus old organization went through a serious rebranding, to Vertical Aviation International, to encompass all types of vertical lift. Now that VTOLs (electric and otherwise) claw towards certification, VAI feels like a necessary pivot for an association that used to wear “helicopter” in its title and DNA. My other key takeaways? 1. This is a big-money show. It now approaches NBAA’s annual BACE in size and spend. Record crowds hovered into the last Heli-Expo (the 35th, before its rebranding to Verticon next year in 2025), bringing the total to 15,000. Last year’s BACE in Vegas hosted 20,000. For folks focused on fixed-wing lift, the numbers may surprise you—but they make sense to anyone watching this space take off. 2. Women now take on more visible roles, since Karen Gebhart’s leadership a few years back. Now we have the dynamite Nicole Battjes serving as chairman of VAI’s board of directors this year. We caught up at lunch on day two, and her company, Rainbow Helicopters, plans significant growth in the years to come—even as the team garnered well deserved recognition for its efforts following the Lahaina fires. 3. State of the art lift still centers on traditional rotorcraft designs, like the upcoming Bell 525, and the Leonardo AW09, both coming into TC later this year, perhaps. Fly-by-wire and envelope protection rule the immediate future, as these protocols enter maturity ahead of their incorporation into eVTOLs. 4. Powerplants evolve too—witnessed by Safran, Airbus, GE, and Pratt & Whitney with carbon-based thrust as well as each OEM’s forays into electric, hybrid, and hydrogen power. Watch this space for the weekly reports coming out as each model enters or continues flight test on various platforms—on rotor, powered lift, and fixed-wing aircraft. #rotorcraft #evtol #heliexpo Vertical Aviation International #JustJuliesTakes

[#IndustrySpotlight] 🚁🛩️ It's a bird, it's a plane - no, it's ... our supermen from the #aviation team who flew to England to attend the fabulous Farnborough International Airshow. The show not only showcased the latest in #aerospace innovation but also emphasized the industry's commitment to sustainability and the future of flight. With advancements in #eVTOL, electrification and hydrogen-powered technologies, the aviation skies are being redefined to be more efficient and environmentally friendly. Our business has supported aviation for 60+ years with recent focus on electric aircraft, which were a major highlight at this year's show. Why such a push for urban air mobility (UAM)? Companies like Joby Aviation and Lilium demonstrated their latest eVTOL prototypes with static displays - what potential to revolutionize short-distance travel and reduce urban congestion! These aircraft promise quieter, more efficient, and environmentally-friendly urban transportation solutions. Check out these photos of our team at the show as they make connections and share precision #polymer seals, metal seals and composites: Nick Riemer, MBA, Alan Davidson, and Mark Scoular.

Skyports Infrastructure, in partnership with Bicester Motion and Vertical Aerospace, has unveiled designs for the U.K.’s first permanent vertiport testbed dedicated to the electric air taxi industry. With planning permission granted by Cherwell District Council, construction will begin this autumn at the 444-acre future mobility estate in Bicester, Oxfordshire. The vertiport will feature a compact 160 square-meter passenger terminal, a critical facility for testing ground infrastructure and flight operations. This infrastructure is essential for advancing the next generation of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, including Vertical’s VX4 prototype, which will be the first eVTOL to fly at the Skyports vertiport. The VX4, designed to carry four passengers over a range of up to 100 miles, is currently progressing through its piloted test flight program. Skyports' vertiport will also incorporate proprietary technology solutions like the Resource Management and Scheduling System (RMSS) and Vertiport Automation System (VAS), positioning it as a hub for AAM innovation in the U.K. This project is a significant milestone for Bicester Motion, which continues its legacy of aviation innovation dating back to its time as RAF Bicester. The vertiport will also play a crucial role within the Advanced Mobility Ecosystem Consortium, backed by the UK Research and Innovation Future Flight Challenge.
