eVTOL Insights Podcast: Mark Cornborough of Vertical Aerospace discusses rotors and the critical mission of reduced noise

The next episode in our pod­cast series is now live, and con­tin­ues our deep dive into Ver­ti­cal Aero­space and the tech­nol­o­gy behind its VA-X4 eVTOL air­craft.

This week, we talk to Mark Corn­bor­ough who is Ver­ti­cal’s Head of Next Gen Rotor Design. He gives us an update on the com­pa­ny’s work so far and what it has in store for its rotors between now and when it plans to cer­ti­fy in 2024.

He also dis­cuss­es the main chal­lenges when devel­op­ing rotors for elec­tric air­craft, espe­cial­ly when address­ing the issue of reduced noise, and also why Ver­ti­cal went with a tilt rotor design. And final­ly, Mark answers your ques­tions!
