Leo shares how his early sketches evolved into a patented design for a personal electric flying vehicle, inspired by none other than Leonardo da Vinci. We dive into the challenges of scaling production, environmental impacts, and the critical role of automation and autonomy. Leo also explains the regulatory landscape, aiming for a near-future where electric flying vehicles integrate seamlessly into urban spaces. You can find more about Leo's work on Invo Station's website and follow them on social media @invostation. Also, if you're around, Leo's team will showcase their tech at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:15 The Birth of a Flying Car Idea01:01 Prototyping and Early Development02:13 Design Inspirations and Challenges06:39 Battery Innovations and Future Prospects12:24 Mass Production and Automation26:26 Autonomy in Flying Vehicles32:23 Introduction to eVTOL Vehicles32:54 Autonomy and Safety Systems34:13 Regulatory Landscape and Industry Collaboration35:58 Upcoming Releases and Pre-Orders37:15 Future of Urban Air Mobility39:32 Global Market Potential42:40 Innovative Vehicle Designs52:04 Charging and Infrastructure52:36 Lessons from Historical Inventors58:38 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe Birth of Electric Flying Vehicles: Leo Kayali, CEO of Invo Station, explains his journey from sketching ideas in a coffee shop to prototyping his eVTOL concept. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's inventive spirit, he developed a design that draws on the artist's legacy of combining engineering with aesthetics. This approach led him to conceptualize a circular vehicle layout, which is optimized for lift and resembles Da Vinci's early designs. His design not only aims to innovate but to shape the future of personal and sustainable aerial transportation.The Benefits of Aerial Autonomy: Autonomy in flying vehicles is, as Leo describes, paradoxically easier to achieve than with ground vehicles due to the reduced number of obstacles. In the air, autonomy faces fewer unpredictable factors like pedestrians, stoplights, and multiple vehicle types. Instead, aerial autonomy focuses on collision avoidance, scanning airspace, and adapting to bird traffic, making fully autonomous air vehicles a viable and less complex solution compared to self-driving cars.Revolutionizing Mass Production for eVTOLs: One of Leo's core goals is to make eVTOLs affordable and mass-producible. Drawing on his experience with Tesla and Siemens, he designed Invo Station's production process for efficiency and scalability, so that vehicle production could be completed in just two minutes, thanks to advanced automation and robotics. This approach allows Invo Station to eventually sell flying vehicles at a consumer-friendly price, potentially putting eVTOLs within reach of the average car buyer.Environmental Impact and Emission Reduction: Invo Station's mission is not just about bringing flying cars to market but also about tackling urban pollution and reducing emissions. Leo envisions a future where flying electric vehicles replace traditional cars for shorter urban trips, significantly reducing air pollution and congestion. He is especially interested in targeting cities with heavy traffic and pollution issues, like São Paulo and Los Angeles, to create a real, measurable impact on urban sustainability.Regulatory Challenges and Industry Standardization: With new regulatory frameworks emerging after 80 years of stagnant aviation standards, Leo believes the current climate is favorable for eVTOL integration. Invo Station works closely with regulators, helping to set safety and operation standards for urban air mobility. Although the regulatory landscape is evolving, Leo's aim is to influence these standards to support a future where autonomous flying vehicles share airspace safely and efficiently with traditional aircraft and other eVTOLs.Battery Innovation and Energy Efficiency: A critical part of making eVTOLs practical is optimizing battery life and charge times. Leo discusses potential breakthroughs in solid-state lithium batteries that could reach ranges up to 900 miles with rapid charging capability. This would far surpass the range of current lithium-ion batteries and make eVTOLs viable for longer journeys, enhancing both usability and energy efficiency in the electric vehicle market.Future of Multi-Purpose eVTOL Applications: Beyond personal transportation, Leo envisions a wide range of applications for eVTOLs, from emergency response vehicles to freight transport. Invo Station is already planning models with features like firefighting capabilities, medical transport, and goods delivery, all optimized to reduce weight and maximize functionality. These diverse applications could fundamentally change how cities operate, providing rapid response in emergencies and potentially creating a new standard in logistics and public safety.

A two-year in-depth study to help prepare Dublin and other European cities for the widespread use of drones in commercial and civic life has been launched at the offices of Dublin City Council by the Minister of State at the Department of Transport and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, James Lawless T.D. The project is led by a research team from Lero, the Research Ireland Centre for Software and Maynooth University in collaboration with Dublin City Council (DCC), and the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). Speaking at the launch, Minister Lawless said: "Ireland has an established record of leadership in regulation of emerging technologies. As drones begin to be used more and more across the globe, at home, we have seen them supplying emergency medicines, delivering fast food, used for search and rescue purposes and to enhance public safety, among a range of important applications. Earlier this year, the Government held a public consultation on the development of a policy framework for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly referred to as drones. The research partnership being launched today between Lero, Maynooth University, Dublin City Council and the Irish Aviation Authority, with stakeholder engagement at its heart, is very much aligned with the Government's efforts to foster the industry's growth while mitigating safety, security, environmental, privacy, and other concerns." Welcoming the announcement, Dr Ciarán Seoighe, Deputy CEO of Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland, the newly established research and innovation funding agency, said: "Research Ireland supports partnerships such as this to bring key stakeholders together to drive progress and capitalise on the advantages offered by innovative and disruptive technologies. While exploring emerging technologies and systems to capture data and support responses to critical events, this collaborative approach helps us to better understand its potential benefits and impact on wider society. Investing in basic research is of strategic importance to Research Ireland, as it allows us to support a pipeline of transformative solutions to bring about real-world benefits." Project Coordinator Professor Tim McCarthy of Maynooth University and LERO believes the project is particularly timely as unmanned drone ecosystems are beginning to emerge globally and involve a wide variety of stakeholders and end-users. A vital aspect of the research project, according to Prof. McCarthy, will be the creation of a digital twin for Dublin City to explore and simulate urban drone flight ecosystems, allowing researchers to address issues that emerge in a safe and controlled environment. "This digital twin will capture inputs from all stakeholders, enable simulation of drone activities and provide prototype digital optimisation services in addressing various business, market, safety, privacy, nuisance and environmental concerns," he added. The partnership will also deliver a number of 'state of the art' drone applications to show the benefits of autonomous and remote piloting of drones to support life-saving and emergency response applications in a Dublin City setting. "This unique drone innovation partnership will contribute to Dublin City Council's Drone and Urban Air Mobility Strategy 2024-2029, an ambitious roadmap to support the integration of drones into city services and position Dublin and Ireland as a European leader in Drones and Urban Air Mobility," said Jamie Cudden, Smart City Lead Dublin City Council. Enda Walsh, manager of the IAA's UAS division, believes the partnership will deliver crucial insights for safely integrating UAS into urban environments while maximising benefits to society and laying the foundation for developing UAS Traffic Management (UTM) for the State. "The Drone Innovation Partnership project will look at stakeholder concerns and provide crucial information and analysis of the key aspects around security, environment, and privacy for UA...

Henry Ford hat sie in den 40er-Jahren schon vorausgesagt und die ehemalige Digitalministerin Dorothee Bär wurde für sie 2018 ausgelacht: Flugtaxis. Wir nehmen die aktuelle Diskussion rund um staatliche Förderung für Flugtaxi-Firmen zum Anlass, um einmal genauer auf diese Technologie zu schauen. Wie ist eigentlich der Stand? Was wird ein Flug damit kosten? Und sind sie überhaupt ein sinnvolles Mittel für die Verkehrswende?

We're going to take you to the skies today, not by using a plane but by getting you to hop on a flying car instead!  Announced in 2021 as an evolution of Hyundai Motor Group's urban air mobility business, our guest Supernal is on the quest to develop an electric vertical take-off and landing (or eVTOL) vehicle, as well as the accompanying ground-to-air ecosystem to support the emerging industry.  The company prides itself as harnessing world class manufacturing, automation, supply chain and R&D expertise to make what it calls the new and efficient transportation option widely accessible in the coming decades.  What that means to the firm, is that it is focused on building the right product and market fit, more so than rushing to be the first to market.  To this end, the company had in January unveiled its electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle concept at one of the largest technology events globally, the 2024 Consumer Electronics show.  It was also at the sidelines of this event that the company said it would commercialise the S-A2 aircraft by 2028 in South Korea and the US. So when will the vehicles be commercially available in Sunny Singapore?  Speaking of Singapore, Supernal had in February this year inked agreements with the Singapore Economic Development Board and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore to further develop advanced air mobility capabilities and expertise in both Singapore and Asia Pacific.  But what can we expect from both sides when it comes to creating regulatory frameworks in the nascent industry and building an ecosystem of support infrastructure for urban air mobility networks? And how important is Singapore as both a demand market and a testbed for Supernal given its population density?  On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Diana Cooper, Chief Partnerships and Policy Officer, Supernal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2018, I was invited to be a speaker at a conference in the Midwest. Before I got on the stage to present my keynote, the session before me was talking about a new concept that I remember briefly hearing about as a student at Embry-Riddle, Advance Air Mobility (AAM). The speaker mentioned how AAM is the future of aviation, and that it will revolutionize air travel as we know it. AAM is known as the development, integration, and utilization of new airborne transportation systems, typically involving electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, drones, and other innovative aerial vehicles. These systems are designed to operate in urban, suburban, and rural environments. Since that conference in 2018, so many developments have transpired in this sector. Key Features of the AAM sectors include; eVTOLs: These are aircraft that can take off and land vertically like a helicopter but transition to forward flight like a plane, predominantly powered by electric propulsion.Urban Air Mobility (UAM): A subset of AAM focusing on urban environments. UAM seeks to alleviate ground traffic congestion by taking advantage of the airspace above cities.Decentralized Infrastructure: Instead of large central airports, AAM emphasizes smaller vertiports or landing pads scattered throughout urban and suburban areas.Autonomous Operations: While initial operations may have human pilots, the goal for many AAM solutions is to eventually operate autonomously, which will require advanced autonomous flight systems and robust air traffic management solutions. The AAM sector on a global scale was valued at $8.2 billion in 2022. It is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20% by 2032 with a valuation to reach about $68.1 billion. Furthermore, investments in AAM have reached $4.8 billion in 2021, with new innovative companies launching each year in pursuit of the next successful eVTOL to hit the market. Specifically, there are over 200 companies globally in the race to develop eVTOL aircraft. The primary driver in the AAM sector is the Urban Air Mobility market which is projected to rise from 3.8 billion to 38.5 billion by 2030. In terms of women in this sector, McKinsey & Company shared on its blog this year how women are advancing in Future Air Mobility (FAM). Here are a few key points the blog shared. Sustainable aviation saw the biggest improvement in gender diversity, with the number of women and nonbinary people increasing from 13 percent to 18 percent.Other segments, including manned advanced air mobility/eVTOL vehicles and small drones, showed smaller gains.Companies that develop supersonic and hypersonic technology regressed, with the number of women and nonbinary people falling from 23 percent to 20 percent, although the small sample size means that the departure of a few senior leaders could sway the numbers in a meaningful way.Among regions, North America has the most diverse leadership teams in both gender (20 percent female or nonbinary) and ethnic diversity—defined as the non-majority group in a company's home country (18 percent).Technical roles have seen the biggest increase in diversity for both genders (going from 5 percent to 14 percent female or nonbinary) and people from ethnic minorities (going from 12 percent to 16 percent).Despite this progress, women and nonbinary people remain significantly underrepresented in technical roles at FAM companies, as they are in many other industries. Our special guest who will launch us into season five of the AVIATE with Shaesta podcast is Elan Head, a familiar voice in AAM. Elan is an award-winning journalist specializing in aviation and technology. Head currently serves as the Senior Editor at The Air Current and continues to be a respected journalist in the industry covering several developments and breaking news in AAM. Elan is a Commercial Helicopter Pilot and an FAA Gold Seal flight instructor with helicopter and instrument helicopter ratings. Elan joins us to share her unexpected start in aviation and how she turned her passion for flight and journalism into a career that she truly enjoys.

The world of aerospace is abuzz with the electrification of aircraft, specifically focusing on eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) technology. As urban areas become increasingly congested and the global population seeks sustainable and efficient travel options, the stakes are high in the race to commercialize eVTOLs. According to industry insiders, eVTOL technology could revolutionize urban mobility, dramatically reducing commute times and the environmental footprint compared to traditional transportation methods.But what is propelling this burgeoning sector, and how will these flying vehicles integrate into our daily lives? This episode dives deep into these questions, exploring the engineering challenges in designing eVTOL systems and the differences from other types electric-powered vehicles and traditional aircraft.Join us on "Our Connected World," hosted by Michelle Dawn Mooney, for a discussion with aerospace experts from TE Connectivity (TE), Matt McAlonis, a TE engineering fellow, and Martin Cullen, a senior leader in TE's aerospace business development. This episode takes a comprehensive look at the evolution of eVTOL technologies, including the challenges to implementing them and the immense opportunities this presents.Key discussion points include:• The adaptation of electric vehicle technology in eVTOLs, for optimizing existing architectures for flight, emphasizing the higher safety and redundancy requirements.• The distinctions between eVTOL systems and traditional aircraft, highlighting issues like weight efficiency, high-power management, and the need for new infrastructure for charging and navigation.• The variety of eVTOL designs emerging, reflecting the industry's exploratory phase, with companies aiming to carve out their niche in urban air mobility through various technical and business model innovations.

In this episode, we talk to André Stein, Chief Strategy Officer at Eve Air Mobility, a subsidiary of the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer. Stein talks about the transformative potential of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in urban mobility. He explains how Eve is emphasising the passenger experience, striving to cater to a wide demographic, including the elderly, visually impaired, wheelchair users, and addressing concerns like motion sickness. We'll also learn about how Eve leverages the capabilities of its parent company, Embraer, benefitting from its established aviation experience and infrastructure. Furthermore, Stein stresses Eve's dedication to sustainability – extending from aircraft design to operations, engaging with energy providers for green solutions and collaborating with global entities to achieve broader sustainability targets.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversations we had with two other stalwarts in the eVTOL space – Adam Goldstein, CEO and Founder at Archer Aviation and Bonny Simi, Head of Air Operations and People and Joby Aviation.

This episode of Altitude we're exploring the next generation of aviation and airspace users.Air taxis, mass drone operations and spaceports may sound like science fiction, but it is a future that is far closer than you might thinkWithin a few years, a drone could be dropping your prescription at your front door as you book an electric air taxi to take you to the airport, while a few miles down the road, a communications company is launching a satellite from the local spaceport…It is a part of the industry that has accelerated massively over the past few years and is now on the verge of becoming a scalable reality, with the potential to change how we travel, connect communities decarbonise local transport.Join us as we dig into the most exciting innovations in urban air mobility, discuss the implications for air traffic management and unpick the technology and regulatory hurdles that still need to be overcome.

Public transport is the backbone of the cities. However, there is a need to shift focus on customer experience owing to the emergence of multiple mobility options. Using AI and machine learning through leveraging a variety of data sources, public transport operators can understand the real historical and current passenger demand of urban transportation systems. The city authorities should try to adopt SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) which aims to build 15-minute cities that allows people to ditch their car. To achieve this goal, new emerging modes including micromobility, on-demand buses, and car sharing systems need to work in tandem with the public transport system. European cities have some good examples of multi-modal integration. Cities should continue to experiment with futuristic ideas including Urban Air Mobility, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Autonomy, etc. and encourage startups to share fresh perspectives.Scott Shepard (Asistobe CCO / CPO) leverages his professional training as an urban planner & designer to deliver value in mobility innovation, startup advisory, entrepreneurship, and thought leadership. Scott is an advocate for #CitiesFirst and an expert in the intersection of cities, movement, and technology. He is a digital mobility expert, entrepreneur, startup advisor, and thought leader who understands and is passionate about the intersection of cities, movement, and technology. He works for more than 15 years in the USA in different roles helping cities to plan mobility and transport infrastructure. Later he moved to Europe and worked with multiple startups in an Operation and Business role. In this podcast, we discussed various topics including the future of mobility, the public transport sector in Europe, the idea of 15 minutes cities, the evolution of micro-mobility, and the growing startup ecosystem in Europe.

GUEST: Jim Adler, Toyota VenturesAbout this episodeThe evolution of mobility, and the rising importance of software and services are having a massive impact on the way automakers think and operate. So much so, in fact, that they know they need to offer more than just a century's expertise in mechanical engineering and manufacturing - and that means tapping into the world of start-ups.That's why corporate venture capital is now an established part of the automotive industry, and most major automakers now operate investment divisions, such as BMW i Ventures, Jaguar Land Rover InMotion Ventures, and Porsche Ventures.We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Jim Adler, the managing director and founder of Toyota‘s standalone early-stage venture capital firm, Toyota Ventures.Jim and his team at Toyota Ventures are interested in AI and autonomy, mobility-robotics, cloud, smart cities, digital health, fintech, energy, and materials, and they have a significant interest in climate. The portfolio of over 40-companies includes May Mobility, Perceptive Automata, and Burro, a maker of fruit harvesting robots. Toyota Ventures was also an early investor in Joby Aviation, which began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2021.This interview was recorded "out in the wild," , rather than our usual studio set-up, hence the presence of some background noise, but it doesn't detract from the conversation and the excellent insight that Jim had to share with us.

As Editor-in-Chief at Flying magazine for 20 years, Mac McClellan flew just about every new airplane delivered after 1976. In this episode he shares his favorite ones and some that he wished he'd never flown. As a keen observer of general aviation trends, Mac also explains why pilots are flying fewer cross countries (except for Cirrus owners), why personal flying inevitably means tradeoffs between safety and efficiency, and what the future holds for urban air mobility/eVTOL proposals. In the "ready to copy" segment, Mac shares why he thinks personal minimums are a bad idea, the best places to fly in Michigan, and what sailing and flying have in common. You might disagree with some of Mac's opinions, but he'll definitely make you think.

Urban Air Mobility ist eines der Zukunftsfelder der Mobilität und kaum ein Bereich wird sich in den nächsten 10 Jahren stärken verändern als die Art, wie wir von A nach B kommen. Neben der bereits im Podcast besprochenen Elektromobilität oder auch Hyperloops spielen Flugtaxis, umgangssprachlich auch Passagierdrohnen genannt, eine große Rolle im Stadtbild der Zukunft. Timo und Michael sprechen über die Anwendungsfälle sowie die deutschen Unternehmen Lilium und Volocopter. Zudem machen die beiden einen Realitätscheck der Technologie und geben einen Ausblick wie lange wir noch auch Flugtaxis am Himmel warten dürfen.

Bisher zeigt Elon Musk null Interesse an Flugtaxis, doch glaubt man den Analysten von Morgan Stanley, wird sich dies ändern. Sie sind sich sicher: Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis Tesla in den Markt für Lufttaxis und Urban Air Mobility einsteigt.

空の移動をもっと身近にしたいと思ってしまった4人のパパたちが、夜な夜なこっそり繰り広げる、eVTOL(=空飛ぶクルマ)に対する興味、好奇心、社会実装への情熱を語り合うラジオです。 今回はそもそもeVTOLって何??というエピソードです。空飛ぶクルマ、Urban Air Mobility、電動垂直離着陸型無操縦者航空機、electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing…などなど、「イーブイトール」をわかりやすく?解説します。 メッセージはこちらから https://forms.gle/mib37UcseFvpzyGa8 経済産業省空飛ぶクルマロードマップ https://www.meti.go.jp/press/2018/12/20181220007/20181220007.html 国土交通省　無人機に関する現状と課題 https://www.mlit.go.jp/common/001085970.pdf Vertical flight society The Electric VTOL Revolution https://evtol.news/__media/PDFs/Hirschberg-eVTOL-Ames-2Jul2018.pdf

Congested urban landscapes and overburdened ground infrastructures are about to be transformed with a new form of transportation, a scheduled or on-demand air taxi service that can whisk passengers along faster, safer, and less expensively than the alternatives. Improvements in battery technology and distributed electric propulsion and leaps in aerospace technology have given rise to electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. We expect that the first commercial flights of these innovative new aircraft should begin in late 2023 and that the likely first use case is as a scheduled airport shuttle. The leading startups have already attracted $3.2 billion in venture capital, and major brands such as Airbus, Boeing, Hyundai, and Porsche are pursuing their own urban air mobility solutions. We estimate that the total addressable market for eVTOLs could be more than $1.25 trillion by 2035. We believe that eVTOLs can be more than competitive with cars or even pooled car services. At annual production volumes of 5,000 units or more, we estimate that a given eVTOL type can be about 390% and 190% cheaper on a per passenger mile basis than UberX and UberPool, respectively. We anticipate that eVTOL aircraft will be operated by commercial pilots meeting high safety and recurring training standards. We project eVTOL could require 66,000 additional pilots over the coming decade, expanding the current addressable market by 25%. We believe that Outperform-rated CAE will be a key beneficiary of this new dimension of transportation —urban air mobility.  BMO clients can view our report, "Ready for Takeoff: Urban Air Mobility Takes Flight", by visiting: https://researchglobal0.bmocapitalmarkets.com/research/e5011038-0b74-470e-b064-1ac1bfa4f06f/ To access our full disclosures, please visit: https://researchglobal0.bmocapitalmarkets.com/public-disclosure/ Episode transcript: https://research-ca.bmocapitalmarkets.com/documents/3A2B8424-475A-4683-93A6-10D523235EEC.PDF

Welcome to Cleared for Takeoff! In our inaugural episode, we talk to NASA's Dr. PK, director of the Aeronautics Research Institute (and former NASA engineer of the year) about air-taxis, or as we say in "aviation-speak," Urban Air Mobility. We talk through what this new form of air transport is all about, and what challenges exist to bring it to fruition. We also get into a rousing discussion about how air taxis may transform where we live, how we go to work, and what cities will even look like in the future. With hosts: Mark Roboff, Martin Whitfield, Cory Laflin, and Ravi Rajamani.

Starting a business in Sacramento has become easier with entrepreneurs having access to multiple programs and resources. Building and scaling that business is still hard. In addition to raising capital, which is a challenge, founders also need support in finding customers and building operational capacity.  In this episode, I am joined by Steve Boyle, Founder, and CEO of Essential Aero, and Rick Spencer, VP of HaneyBiz and co-developer of The Sacramento Growth Factory (SGF). We explore how Essential Aero has benefited from SGF, and how the experience is different from other business-building efforts Steve has had in Sacramento. We also dive into why Sacramento is so well-positioned to be a great testbed for companies like Essential Aero, especially in establishing a Center of Excellence for aviation safety, operations, and developing infrastructure for Urban Air Mobility.  If you are an entrepreneur, investor, or a corporate or government leader, join me for this episode as we explore how we can win together by creating an economic engine for our community.

In this episode, Mariya talks about Flight Crowd, a global platform for Urban Air Mobility experts and enthusiasts focused on shaping the public perception of eVTOL aircraft. She also gives her insight into concerns the general public might have, what the industry can be doing to solve them, and the advantages Urban Air Mobility can bring to cities across the world.

This week's episode is a really interesting discussion with Clem Newton-Brown, who is looking to set up a network of landing sites for eVTOL aircraft in Melbourne, Australia - one of the first international test cities for Uber Air. He is a former planning barrister and Deputy Lord Mayor of the city, and gives a really detailed insight into the potential for Urban Air Mobility in the country. We talk about opportunities for OEMs once aircraft services are operational, what landing infrastructure could look like, and also the economics side of the industry.

John Rossant, Founder & CEO of Commotion and Chairman of the NewCities Foundation joins Grayson Brulte on The Road To Autonomy Podcast for a global conversation about mobility and cities.The conversation begins with a discussion around public transportation in Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. Grayson and John discuss the culture of cities and why this is one of the main defining factors of how and why public transportation is used in cities around the world.From a discussion around culture and public transportation, Grayson shifts the conversation back to Paris where John started his career as the Europe Editor of BusinessWeek. While in the City of Lights, John saw the oncoming decline of print and joined the Publicis Groupe after a meeting and long negotiation with Maurice Lévy.After several years of leading communications and public affairs, John became Executive Chairman of PublicisLive, producer of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. John shares his insights into Davos and how logistically challenging it is to put on the World Economic Forum each and every year.Putting that all together is like putting a man on the moon in terms of complexity. – John RossantStaying on the theme of the World Economic Forum, Grayson asks John to share his thoughts on the 2021 WEF Theme; “The Great Reset“. John shares his thoughts on what a dense urban environment will look like in a post-COVID world.The conversation veers into a conversation about travel and virtual reality. John believes the future will be defined in a metaverse world. Grayson follows up by asking John about what impact a metaverse world will have on cities.I find the idea of putting on a headset and walking down a canal in Venice in a three-dimensional way is pretty interesting. – John RossantKeeping with a global flair, the conversation shifts into Saudi Arabi where Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud is developing a city for the 21st Century with 21st Century technology from the ground up called NEOM.NEOM imagines a city that does not have to built around the motor car. In fact, there won't be a place in NEOM for the individually owned motor car. – John RossantThe idea of NEOM is to build a city from the ground-up that takes into account two of the big mega-trends of the modern world: mobility and energy.Combining all of John's career experiences, John and Grayson discuss the founding on CoMotion and why John chose to build the company in LA.If LA could change, any city could change. – John RossantStaying on the theme of LA, they discuss what LA will look like in the future and the role Urban Air Mobility will play in moving goods and individuals around the city.With the 2028 Summer Olympics coming to LA, they discuss what transportation will look like for spectators who come to LA to enjoy the experience of watching the Olympic Games in-person.Wrapping up the conversation, John shares his vision on the future of mobility and cities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the floor at CES 2020, John spoke with Matt Holvey from Bell about Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and new directions for an 80 year old aviation company. The conversation touched on mass-market, electric powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, regulatory issues, the path to autonomous flight operations, and what is required to build an ecosystem around urban air travel.

Today's episode was recorded at CES, the world's largest consumer electronics trade show, held in Las Vegas, Nevada. While at CES, we had the opportunity to sit down with Brian Chase, Director of Global Government Affairs & Public Policy at Bell Flight. Bell had one of the best exhibits at CES, where it displayed Nexus, their new all-electric flying vehicle. Brian talked to us about Nexus, what he sees as the future of flying vehicles, and how his passion for space landed him at Bell. Bell Flight is an innovative aerospace manufacturer producing 60% of today's helicopters, and working to create the next generation of flying vehicles. Bell has a long history of being on the cutting edge of aerospace technology - it was the first to break the sound barrier, the first to certify a commercial helicopter, and it was part of NASA's first lunar mission. Brian attended The University of Texas as an engineering student, where he was able to spend time working at NASA as part of the university's co-op program. After two years in the program, Brian made the switch to economics. He made his move into politics by working for Congressman Dave Weldon of Florida, who represented Florida's space coast. Brian held many positions during his time with Congressman Weldon. His duties included legislative aide, press secretary, and campaign manager. After working on the hill for a few more years, Brian went to work for the Bush administration as NASA's Assistant Administrator for Legislative Affairs. After a few years at NASA, Brian transitioned back to Texas and started working at Bell flight.

And how Leonardo plans to bring the tiltrotor design to the civil market with its AW609.

In this episode, we'll talk with aviation insurance expert Terry Miller from Transport Risk Managment Inc. The conversation will focus on some of the considerations for Urban Air Mobility aka flying cars, boats, bikes, and everything in-between be for end-users and operators.

Airbus pushes forward with a new Urban Air Mobility unit, law enforcement embraces drones, another Amazon drone delivery patent, and FAA UAS news.

Many cities look for ways to reduce vehicle traffic on clogged streets. They're also looking at how to safely increase air traffic above those streets and among all the buildings. It's known as urban air mobility. NASA's aeronautics research mission directorate has been helping this effort with research. Bob Pearce, NASA's deputy associate administrator for strategy, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss what that initiative entails.
