Welcome to Shephard Studio’s Revolutions in Vertical Flight, brought to you in partnership with Bell.The Revolutions in Vertical Flight podcast tells the little-known story of the history of rotorcraft, from the autogiro and helicopter, to the tiltrotor and eVTOL platforms in development today. Revolutions in Vertical Flight reveals the stories of a small group of pioneers, the visions and beliefs that drove them, and their approach to invention and innovation.And the Shephard Studio podcast series looks at the vertical flight innovation underway today, revealing how it will transform military operations and revolutionise urban mobility.In this episode, we learn about the revolution underway in urban transportation, one that will have an impact on the same scale as when the internal combustion engine took over from the horse-drawn carriage.Industry giants and start-ups alike are racing to develop electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.Better known as EvTOLs, these platforms could turn the visions of science fiction into reality, providing low-carbon travel in the urban environment, without the need for runways or the other infrastructure associated with earlier types of aviation.Innovations like the Bell Nexus, CityAirbus and UberAir are deep in development, with companies expecting significant advances over the course of the next decade. We hear how passengers could one day hail an air taxi through a smartphone app, transporting them from one building to another within or between cities, without facing the traffic of urban streets.
Chad Stecker, the Bell Flight Program Manager of the Nexus aircraft, a futuristic looking vertical lift air taxi - shares in detail the story behind his involvement with an aircraft that's primed to change the way the world travels. In this episode you'll learn about: • How Chad's journey at Bell Flight began as well as how he became the Program Manager for the Bell Nexus • How the concept of the Nexus came to be and how Bell managed to move forward with it • What the Bell Nexus is, it's capabilities, and how it will be used • The challenges involved with pioneering a new industry: unmanned air taxis • A vision into what the world would look like if & when the Nexus takes flight https://www.bellflight.com/company/innovation/nexus https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-stecker-28026717/
Can you imagine yourself buzzing around the urban landscape in a flying car in 2025? Bell—and companies such as Uber and Airbus—really want you to be. Whether you call it a flying taxi, a flying car, eVTOL aircraft, passenger drone, or air taxi, it all means the same thing—the future of urban mobility is approaching and it will manifest in electric aviation. Bell, one of the world's largest helicopter manufacturers, showcased their Nexus prototype hexacopter eVTOL aircraft (flying car) at CES 2019. I was there with Scott Drennan, Vice President of Innovation at Bell to have a chat about Bell Nexus and our destiny of advancing urban air mobility.
