eVTOL Insights extends Final Friday virtual networking event to include two industry presentations

With less than two weeks until its next Final Fri­day vir­tu­al net­work­ing event, eVTOL Insights has announced new changes to the for­mat — which includes the intro­duc­tion of indus­try pre­sen­ta­tions.

Fol­low­ing feed­back from March’s atten­dees, the next event on Fri­day, April 30th will now last 90 min­utes — from 4pm to 5.30pm BST. It will start off with 30 min­utes of net­work­ing, before two 15-minute pre­sen­ta­tions and then a final 30 min­utes of net­work­ing to fin­ish.

And to kick off the indus­try pre­sen­ta­tions, Dar­rell Swan­son and Mariya Tara­banovs­ka, Co-Founder of Flight Crowd, have been con­firmed as the first speak­ers.

Dar­rell has estab­lished him­self as a sub­ject mat­ter expert regard­ing elec­tric avi­a­tion and how it will lead to a future of dis­trib­uted avi­a­tion.  His knowl­edge encom­pass­es elec­tric air­craft infra­struc­ture require­ments as well as defin­ing mar­ket oppor­tu­ni­ties for emerg­ing elec­tric Low Cost Car­ri­ers (eLCCs). 

He will be talk­ing about his work with the UK’s Future Flight Chal­lenge and its Sky­Bus Project, which involves a large eVTOL air­craft con­cept.

While Mariya is an urban air mobil­i­ty advi­sor with a strong aero­space engi­neer­ing back­ground. Flight Crowd is an open plat­form which sup­ports UAM com­mu­ni­ty by bring­ing togeth­er enthu­si­asts and experts both to edu­cate and to grow the wider pub­lic inter­est in the ver­ti­cal mobil­i­ty indus­try. 

She will talk about the inclu­siv­i­ty of UAM solu­tions in all aspects, from design to oper­a­tions and main­te­nance. Addi­tion­al­ly, Mariya will also touch upon design, pub­lic per­cep­tion, edu­ca­tion and train­ing aspects of the indus­try.

Reg­is­tra­tion for the event is free and will start from 4pm BST, 5pm CET, 12noon EST and 9am PST. To reserve your spot, vis­it https://social.collab.org.uk/e/evtol-insights-final-friday-virt
