On Air brings you updates from the UK CAA's Innovation team which works with organisations to support new aviation related products and services.
You'll hear about the latest work in areas such as advanced air mobility, UAS traffic management (UTM) and operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) along with interviews from the experts involved in these projects.
Advanced Air Mobility will see people and goods move between urban and regional areas using innovative aircraft like electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles. eVTOL offers the potential for new, faster and cleaner ways for people and goods to travel.
In this episode we’re joined by the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s Technical Strategy Portfolio Manager, Darryl Abelscroft who discusses the Civil Aviation Authority’s role in enabling the safe introduction of Advanced Air Mobility.
Alongside Darryl, David King, Vertical Aerospace’s Chief Engineer joins us to discuss their role and work as an eVTOL manufacturer in the UK.
