One week to go: Final agenda published for eVTOL Insights’ Europe Conference in Toulouse

With just one week to go until eVTOL Insights’ Europe Con­fer­ence in Toulouse, the final agen­da is now avail­able, bring­ing togeth­er speak­ers from across Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty for dis­cus­sions on cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, com­mer­cial­i­sa­tion, infra­struc­ture and the future of flight.

Tak­ing place from Octo­ber 14th to 16th, the event com­bines a full-day con­fer­ence with net­work­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties and indus­try vis­its. The main con­fer­ence will be held on Thurs­day, Octo­ber 15 at L’Envol des Pio­nniers, with con­tri­bu­tions from organ­i­sa­tions includ­ing EASA, BETA Tech­nolo­gies, Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, Ver­ti­cal Aero­space, Wisk, NATS and the UK Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty.

Fol­low­ing an open­ing address from Con­stant Augustin of Invest – Team Toulouse, EASA’s Oswal­do Lopez Blas will take part in a fire­side chat enti­tled ‘From Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion to First Oper­a­tions: The EASA Per­spec­tive’. The ses­sion will set the scene for a day exam­in­ing the prac­ti­cal steps required to bring Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty into ser­vice.

A pan­el fea­tur­ing Ver­ti­cal Aero­space, LODD Autonomous, Skyfly Tech­nolo­gies and Schnei­der Elec­tric will then con­sid­er hybrid-elec­tric and all-elec­tric air­craft, focus­ing on range exten­sion and pay­load eco­nom­ics. Eve Air Mobility’s Juliana Rodrigues will fol­low with a fire­side chat explor­ing the company’s path from pro­to­type to pas­sen­ger ser­vices.

Infra­struc­ture and oper­a­tional readi­ness will also fea­ture promi­nent­ly. EA Maven will dis­cuss invest­ment fore­casts and infra­struc­ture require­ments, while Uni­fied Avi­a­tion CEO Mark Trot­ter will explore the tran­si­tion from heli­pads to ver­ti­ports. BETA Tech­nolo­gies’ Charge Oper­a­tions Lead, Chad Nichols, and H3 Dynam­ics’ Com­mer­cial Direc­tor, Karim Beniz­eri, will also con­tribute to the morn­ing pro­gramme.

A Viasat-led dis­cus­sion, ‘Scal­ing the Unknown: Build­ing AAM Oper­a­tions With­out a Play­book’, will bring togeth­er rep­re­sen­ta­tives from Viasat, Gotono­mi and Galaxy 1 to exam­ine the chal­lenges of devel­op­ing a new oper­at­ing envi­ron­ment.

The after­noon will open with NATS’ Andrew Sage pre­sent­ing ‘Lon­don 2028 – a Net­work Per­spec­tive’, fol­lowed by an air­space inte­gra­tion pan­el fea­tur­ing Tom­pAero, the UK CAA, Avtrain and EASA. Fur­ther con­tri­bu­tions from Emben­tion and CAE will explore tech­nol­o­gy and the con­di­tions need­ed to sup­port scale.

The final con­fer­ence ses­sion will exam­ine pub­lic-mis­sion appli­ca­tions and the future of Euro­pean region­al avi­a­tion, with con­tri­bu­tions from the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Insti­tute, LYTE Avi­a­tion, MD Air­craft and VINI fly­vbird.

Wisk’s Michael John­son will then address safe­ty and scal­a­bil­i­ty in autonomous avi­a­tion before a clos­ing pan­el asks: ‘The AAM Ecosys­tem: Are We Ready to Oper­ate at Scale?’ Rep­re­sen­ta­tives from CAE, Eve Air Mobil­i­ty, Trim­ble and Altid­i­um will bring the day’s dis­cus­sions togeth­er.
