eVTOL Insights Readers Eligible for a 15% Discount on Tickets to Electric Aircraft Symposium, As Event Returns to Oshkosh in July

This year’s Elec­tric Air­craft Sym­po­sium (EAS), host­ed by the Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety Fed­er­al City Chap­ter (VFS FCC) will be held in at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wis­con­sin in Oshkosh from July 18th to 19th, two days imme­di­ate­ly pri­or to EAA Air­Ven­ture.

EAS 2026 will fea­ture 12 in-depth ses­sions with more than 50 speak­ers and mod­er­a­tors encom­pass­ing a broad range of top­ics cov­er­ing a wide vari­ety of elec­tric air­craft cat­e­gories — light sport, train­ing, gen­er­al and region­al air­craft, as well as heli­copters and VTOL — fea­tur­ing battery‑, hybrid- and hydro­gen-elec­tric propul­sion approach­es, plus ses­sions on infra­struc­ture and reg­u­la­tions.

This year’s pro­gram will include pre­sen­ta­tions from an elec­tric heli­copter devel­op­er (Robin­son), nine eVTOL devel­op­ers (AIR, BETA, Eve, Hori­zon, Joby, Jump, Piv­otal, Skyfly and Wisk), six con­ven­tion­al elec­tric air­craft devel­op­ers (Ampaire, AURA, Bye, Elec­tra, EVIO and Pip­istrel), six propul­sion sys­tem com­pa­nies (H2FLY, Hydroplane, mag­niX, Pratt & Whit­ney Cana­da, RED Air­craft and Whis­per Aero) plus infra­struc­ture devel­op­ers and tech­nol­o­gy part­ners.

EAS 2026 will also high­light two recent devel­op­ments expect­ed to stim­u­late renewed inter­est in elec­tric air­craft across the Unit­ed States:

• The FAA’s new MOSAIC (Mod­ern­iza­tion of Spe­cial Air­wor­thi­ness Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion) rule that rev­o­lu­tion­izes gen­er­al avi­a­tion by updat­ing light sport air­craft (LSA) cat­e­gories to include elec­tric propul­sion, rotor­craft and pow­ered-lift air­craft for the first time
• The FAA and US DoT’s new eVTOL Inte­gra­tion Pilot Pro­gram (eIPP), which will see eight projects span­ning 26 states and involve lead­ing air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ers, oper­a­tors, state part­ners, and air­ports

EAS has grown over the past two decades and serves as a show­case of the increas­ing momen­tum and vari­ety of elec­tri­cal­ly pow­ered air­craft.

The first EAS was held by the CAFE Foun­da­tion in 2007 in San­ta Rosa, Cal­i­for­nia, and moved to Oshkosh in 2017 to attract a wider avi­a­tion audi­ence.
