eVTOL Insights’ confirms industry site visit to ERC System as part of its Europe Conference in Munich this September

eVTOL Insights is excit­ed to announce ERC Sys­tem will host an exclu­sive indus­try site vis­it as part of its upcom­ing Europe Con­fer­ence, tak­ing place in Munich this Sep­tem­ber.

On Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 9th, reg­is­tered del­e­gates will have the unique oppor­tu­ni­ty to tour ERC Sys­tem’s test­ing facil­i­ty in Erd­ing, locat­ed just out­side Munich Air­port. An exact time has­n’t been con­firmed, but it will take place in the after­noon (approx­i­mate­ly between 4pm and 5pm CET).

This site vis­it offers atten­dees an insider’s view of ERC Sys­tem’s pio­neer­ing work in elec­tric propul­sion and sys­tem inte­gra­tion for next-gen­er­a­tion air­craft. Atten­dance is lim­it­ed exclu­sive­ly to con­fer­ence tick­et hold­ers.

ERC Sys­tem’s jour­ney has been shaped by the ded­i­cat­ed sup­port of three dis­tinct and influ­en­tial part­ners: Prof. Dr. Rudolf F. Schwarz of the IABG, the com­pa­ny’s found­ing investor, DRF Luftret­tung and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Flo­ri­an Holzapfel from the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Munich (TUM).

Unit­ed by a shared vision to solve the press­ing cost–time dilem­ma between con­ven­tion­al heli­copter ser­vices and ground trans­porta­tion, these part­ner­ships have laid the foun­da­tion for the devel­op­ment of ERC’s inno­v­a­tive eVTOL plat­form.

After years of inten­sive devel­op­ment, analy­sis and test­ing, ERC reached a major mile­stone in 2023 with the suc­cess­ful ver­ti­cal take­off of Echo, one of Europe’s heav­i­est full-mass demon­stra­tors with a mass of 2,730 kilo­grams.

This achieve­ment rep­re­sent­ed a key moment in ERC’s progress, sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduc­ing tech­no­log­i­cal risk in the devel­op­ment pro­gram and val­i­dat­ing the depth and pre­ci­sion of its engi­neer­ing work.

The year 2024 was where ERC revealed Romeo, its sec­ond full-scale, full-mass demon­stra­tor gen­er­a­tion. With this air­craft, the com­pa­ny aims to achieve a suc­cess­ful flight in 2025 and advance to the next stage of our devel­op­ment pro­gram.

The vis­it to ERC Sys­tem adds sig­nif­i­cant val­ue to the event pro­gramme, which already includes:

  • A full-day con­fer­ence fea­tur­ing keynotes and pan­el dis­cus­sions with indus­try lead­ers on Wednes­day, Sep­tem­ber 10th
  • An addi­tion­al site vis­it to Munich Air­port on Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 11th, which will pro­vide del­e­gates with an oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn more about the avi­a­tion hub and its work to inte­grate eVTOL air­craft with­in an air­port set­ting

Jason Pritchard, Exec­u­tive Edi­tor at eVTOL Insights, said: “Our Europe Con­fer­ence is designed to give del­e­gates a well-round­ed view of the eVTOL land­scape in Europe. By offer­ing hands-on access to ERC Sys­tem and Munich Air­port, we’re deliv­er­ing an unmatched expe­ri­ence that blends knowl­edge, net­work­ing, and behind-the-scenes insight.”

Ear­ly Bird tick­ets are avail­able until this Fri­day, July 11th and priced at €500, after which tick­ets will then be avail­able for €700.
