Flight Crowd to have presence at Fully Charged LIVE as it showcases Urban Air Mobility’s potential to thousands of attendees

Flight Crowd will help show­case the excit­ing devel­op­ments in the eVTOL air­craft and urban air mobil­i­ty mar­kets to the UK pub­lic next month, after announc­ing a part­ner­ship with Robert Llewe­lyn’s Ful­ly Charged LIVE — one of the world’s biggest clean ener­gy and elec­tric vehi­cle shows.

More than 50 the­atre ses­sions are sched­uled for the event, which is at Farn­bor­ough Inter­na­tion­al from April 29th to May 1st. Flight Crowd will be curat­ing a Future Flight Zone with lots of work­shops and ses­sions for gen­er­a­tions young and old to get an insight into eVTOL air­craft and urban air mobil­i­ty mar­kets.

The start­up joined a pan­el enti­tled ‘When will Elec­tric Flight come into land?’, which attract­ed strong pub­lic inter­est. Pre­vi­ous events have attract­ed more than 16,000 vis­i­tors across a long week­end, and with this year adding elec­tric aer­i­al mobil­i­ty to its line-up, it rep­re­sents an excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty to bring the ben­e­fits of this new era of avi­a­tion to more peo­ple.

Mariya Tara­banovs­ka, co-founder of Flight Crowd, said: “We are delight­ed to be part­ner­ing with Ful­ly Charged to intro­duce the UK pub­lic to the aer­i­al mobil­i­ty indus­try. Flight Crowd is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing the deliv­ery of urban air mobil­i­ty at scale. With this, we see the need to engage with the glob­al com­mu­ni­ty, which will ulti­mate­ly deter­mine the suc­cess of this new mobil­i­ty ecosys­tem.

“Ful­ly Charged LIVE will be one of the first oppor­tu­ni­ties for tens of thou­sands of UK cit­i­zens to hear and see the industry’s poten­tial and progress over the last decade. We hope to demon­strate to elec­tric mobil­i­ty and infra­struc­ture fans and pro­fes­sion­als, how elec­tric flight is inte­gral to the future of sus­tain­able mul­ti­modal com­mu­ni­ties world­wide.”

Across the three days, Ful­ly Charged LIVE will show­case numer­ous indoor and out­door exhibits and attrac­tions, includ­ing Elec­tric Vehi­cles and Clean Ener­gy tech­nol­o­gy. The ses­sions take place across two stages, with oth­er areas of inter­est includ­ing Home Ener­gy Advice, EV and Micro-Mobil­i­ty test dri­ves, Con­vert­ed Clas­sics Zone, Com­mer­cial Vehi­cle Zone, Ful­ly Charged Busi­ness and Kidz Zone.

eVTOL Insights also spoke to Flight Crowd Direc­tor Robin Brownsell to get more insight about the impact an event like Ful­ly Charged LIVE can have for Flight Crowd and the work it is doing to inform, edu­cate and inspire the wider pub­lic about urban air mobil­i­ty.

He said: “We’ve been get­ting great sup­port and plau­dits when we go to events and every­one loves what we’re doing. Flight Crowd is not-for-prof­it, so we’re also view­ing this as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to say to the indus­try: ‘what we’re doing is of sig­nif­i­cant val­ue to achiev­ing social accep­tance, so please sup­port us.’

“This [Urban Air Mobil­i­ty] is an indus­try of the future. Through the STEM work­shops, phys­i­cal and dig­i­tal exhibits that we will be bring­ing along with our indus­try part­ners we want to not only demon­strate the progress the indus­try has made, but also show­case to the pub­lic a vari­ety of careers and ways to engage with the ecosys­tem.”

Dan Cae­sar, Joint CEO, added: “As the world’s no.1 chan­nel for elec­tric vehi­cles, our audi­ence is fas­ci­nat­ed by all future forms of trans­port. Inter­est in elec­tric flight is espe­cial­ly high, and as Ful­ly Charged LIVE is host­ed at Farn­bor­ough, we want to help edu­cate thou­sands of con­sumers about the excit­ing tech­nolo­gies that will come into land in the next few years. We have the per­fect part­ner in Flight Crowd, and can’t wait to build the Future of Flight Zone togeth­er.”

A three-day tick­et from Fri­day to Sat­ur­day costs £45, while a two-day tick­et is £39.50 and a sin­gle day tick­et costs £30. A fam­i­ly tick­et over Sat­ur­day and Sun­day — con­sist­ing of two adults and three chil­dren aged under 18 — costs £70 and chil­dren aged 15 and under can attend the event free of charge.
