eVTOL Insights Podcast: Nicholas Flom talks about North Dakota’s Vantis UAS network

In this week’s episode, we were delight­ed to be joined by Nicholas Flom, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor of the North­ern Plains UAS Test Site in Grand Forks, North Dako­ta.

When UAS peo­ple think North Dako­ta, they think Nicholas Flom. He sup­ports the FAA’s BEYOND Pro­gram and was appoint­ed by state gov­er­nor Doug Bur­gum to co-chair the state’s UAS Detection/Counter UAS Task Force. Flom also par­tic­i­pates on the FAA’s Unmanned Air­craft Safe­ty Team, active­ly con­tributes to and advis­es indus­try groups, and is a vot­ing mem­ber of Com­mit­tee F38 on UAS.

We talk about why North Dako­ta is well posi­tioned to take unmanned air­craft to the next lev­el, what impact the net­work has had on the US state and how it can help oth­er states look­ing to devel­op net­works of their own. Nicholas also talks about the work that has been done so far, and the part­ner­ships that have been estab­lished.
