Flight Crowd sets up platform to help support growing Urban Air Mobility ecosystem

Flight Crowd has launched a glob­al plat­form for Urban Air Mobil­i­ty (UAM) experts and enthu­si­asts, which is focused on shap­ing the pub­lic per­cep­tion of eVTOL air­craft.

It also aims to help edu­cate and grow wider pub­lic inter­est on the future of ver­ti­cal flight, by offer­ing mem­bers a vari­ety of con­tent such as pod­casts, thought pieces, webi­na­rs and white papers.

Mariya Tara­banovs­ka, who is a UAM advi­sor and part of Flight Crowd, said: ”We want to make it eas­i­er for those out­side of the UAM ecosys­tem to learn about the vehi­cles, infra­struc­ture, reg­u­la­tions and oth­er aspects that make up the indus­try. If you don’t have a tech­ni­cal back­ground, it is very dif­fi­cult to grasp the sheer com­plex­i­ty of what UAM play­ers are try­ing to achieve.

“Flight Crowd aims to bring UAM clos­er by intro­duc­ing the news and lat­est devel­op­ments in bite-size por­tions and sim­ple words. We want to be the bridge that unites main indus­try par­tic­i­pants and the future UAM cus­tomers — the glob­al pub­lic.”

In a press release announc­ing the launch, Flight Crowd says the plat­form will ‘address the need to raise pub­lic aware­ness of the pos­si­bil­i­ties and ben­e­fits UAM tech­nol­o­gy is going to have upon mass imple­men­ta­tion.’

The Flight Crowd com­mu­ni­ty will also work close­ly with the indus­try itself to share the most up-to-date news and devel­op­ments, by sup­port­ing their vision through a range of out­reach activ­i­ties.

Tara­banovs­ka added: “The indus­try has devel­oped its own lan­guage — we talk about oper­a­tions at scale, auton­o­my, noise, safe­ty and this scares peo­ple who nev­er heard about elec­tri­cal take-off and land­ing vehi­cles and don’t under­stand how they work.

“We are very excit­ed for the road ahead and would be delight­ed to share this jour­ney with as many par­tic­i­pants as pos­si­ble.”
