PODCAST: Ted Angel of NAAMCE previews NAAMIF event as industry prepares for production and routine operations

In this episode of the eVTOL Insights Pod­cast, we speak with Ted Angel, Exec­u­tive Direc­tor of the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Cen­ter of Excel­lence (NAAMCE), ahead of the Nation­al Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Indus­try Forum in Spring­field, Ohio, on Octo­ber 15th.

Spon­sored by Job­sO­hio, Ted explains how the forum has evolved to address the chal­lenges of mov­ing from air­craft demon­stra­tions to pro­duc­tion and every­day oper­a­tions.

We explore its inter­ac­tive work­shops, cov­er­ing infra­struc­ture, dig­i­tal sys­tems and com­mu­ni­ty engage­ment, along­side dis­cus­sions on the eVTOL Inte­gra­tion Pilot Pro­gram, defence appli­ca­tions and work­force devel­op­ment.

He also shares updates from NAAMCE, includ­ing Electra’s planned man­u­fac­tur­ing pres­ence and how the facil­i­ty helps com­pa­nies build, test and fly in one loca­tion.

The con­ver­sa­tion con­cludes with a look at the accom­pa­ny­ing STEM Day and Great Amer­i­can Elec­tric Air Race, high­light­ing why inspir­ing future tal­ent and build­ing pub­lic trust are essen­tial to the next chap­ter of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty in Ohio and beyond.
