A new white paper from the Canadian Advanced Air Mobility Consortium makes the case that Vancouver is an ideal launch pad for this new mode of air transportation.

The November 2 event will provide a forum for developers of these aircraft to address how gaps in consensus safety standards are now being filled.

Pamela Cohn, COO of Hyundai's new Urban Air Mobility Division, addressed questions posed by the Roland Berger consultancy.

He has called for Remote Identification UAS rules to be issued by the FAA without delay in December 2020.

Announcements over the past week suggest that Airbus is doubling down on investments in zero-carbon propulsion, while Boeing seems to be taking a more conservative approach for both financial and technological reasons.

Their white paper addresses the potential for eVTOL aircraft to transform transportation options in the country, but questions still remain as to when ride-hailing pioneer Uber may launch trials in Melbourne.

The aircraft developer says that by 2026 hydrogen fuel cells will be more viable for aircraft propulsion than batteries or internal combustion engines.
