We need not to fly less, just sometimes different

Aviation is pushed hard to reduce and eliminate its emissions and Aviation works hard to find solutions to meet those demands. Some believe we need to fly less or stop flying to meet those demands. Like other types of land-based transportation has done or are doing, for pure economical reasons we believe Aviation will at large change its legacy business…

Is the Disrupter becoming Disrupted ?

UAM (Urban Air Mobility) is talked up to become a disrupter of urban mobility. Billions and Billions of USD are invested and being invested developing electric aircrafts able to takeoff and land vertically and a wast amount of capital is being invested into its needed infrastructure based on a predicted revenue of Billions and Billions. But are many developers and…

A discriminatory design

When Aviation with its AAM concept enters Public Transportation along side and at level with current Land-based Public Transportation, many eVTOL developers and infrastructure planners have forgotten to include the important minority of disabled passengers. As an upcoming add-on mode of daily public transportation to the total grid of existing modes of daily public transportation like busses, trains, trams, metro’s,…
