VFS is hosting its virtual 4th Workshop on eVTOL Infrastructure for Urban Air Mobility (UAM). This three-day meeting is the fourth in a series of solution-focused workshops.

The workshop schedule will include updates from the FAA Tech Center, presentations from key players from the industry and facilitated discussions to set the roadmap. In the 1st workshop in Sept. 2019, industry representatives and regulators focused on the “defining challenges” of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, identifying key stakeholders and strategies for moving forward. The 2nd Workshop on eVTOL Infrastructure, held virtually (due to COVID-19) in a series on sponsored webinars in April and May 2020, covered foundational elements needed to support the development of safe, functional and economically viable infrastructure to support UAM applications. The 3rd Workshop on eVTOL Infrastructure, held virtually (due to COVID-19) in a series was held in September 2020, covered foundational elements needed to support the development of safe, functional and economically viable infrastructure to support UAM applications. A virtual tour of the FAA Technical Center in Atlantic City was also part of the program. The output of the workshop was captured via audience inputs and used to set the content for the 4th workshop.

Background
The Vertical Flight Society, founded in 1943 as the American Helicopter Society, is the world’s leading professional organization working to advance vertical flight. VFS has been a leading advocate and supporter of what we call “The Electric VTOL Revolution.” We held the world’s eVTOL technical meeting in 2014 and our 7th Annual eVTOL Symposium was held in Jan. 2020 in Silicon Valley; we now have 100+ hours of informative and educational videos on electric VTOL. A summary of the work that VFS and its partners have done, along with information on previous events and activities, can be found on this webpage.
