US Air Force’s Agility Prime and OneSky to speak at eVTOL Insights’ upcoming virtual networking event

The emerg­ing eVTOL sup­ply chain and OneSky’s recent part­ner­ship with Eve Air Mobil­i­ty will be the next top­ics for dis­cus­sion at eVTOL Insights’ upcom­ing vir­tu­al net­work­ing event on July 30th.

With less than two weeks to go, eVTOL Insights can con­firm Dana Jensen and Adam Twidell as the next two speak­ers to give 15-minute pre­sen­ta­tions about this excit­ing mar­ket.

Jensen is a mem­ber of US Air Force’s Agili­ty Prime core team which eval­u­ates the tech­ni­cal and com­mer­cial mer­it of advanced air mobil­i­ty use cas­es for poten­tial gov­ern­ment sup­port. He is also a Senior Indus­tri­al Pol­i­cy Ana­lyst with the air force’s Office of Com­mer­cial and Eco­nom­ic Analy­sis, spe­cial­is­ing in avi­a­tion. 

Addi­tion­al­ly, Jensen is co-chair of the Joint Air Force-NASA-FAA Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Sup­ply Chain Work­ing Group, and serves the air force as a Sys­tems Engi­neer­ing and Tech­ni­cal Analy­sis (SETA) expert focused on AAM enabling tech­nolo­gies includ­ing advanced man­u­fac­tur­ing, advanced pow­er stor­age sys­tems, arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, and auton­o­my.  

He is also a mem­ber of the air force’s Agili­ty Prime core team which eval­u­ates the tech­ni­cal and com­mer­cial mer­it of AAM use cas­es for poten­tial Gov­ern­ment sup­port.

While Twidell will talk briefly about why OneSky chose Eve and how the com­pa­ny will use its eVTOL air­craft, the impor­tance of indus­try asso­ci­a­tions and what he learnt with his com­pa­ny Pri­vate­Fly, which can be applied to eVTOLs.

Twidell entered the world of pri­vate avi­a­tion with Net­Jets, after serv­ing 10 years as an RAF pilot and learn­ing to fly at Edin­burgh Uni­ver­si­ty. Fol­low­ing a peri­od of tremen­dous growth in pri­vate avi­a­tion, he teamed up with Lon­don City Air­port and won a con­tract to devel­op RAF Northolt into an exclu­sive pri­vate jet hub for the city.

Hav­ing seen the indus­try from all angles, Twidell spot­ted a gap for an effi­cient online pri­vate jet book­ing net­work which linked cus­tomers direct­ly with air­craft oper­a­tors. He co-found­ed Pri­vate­Fly with his wife Car­ol and devel­oped the plat­form into one of the lead­ing glob­al pri­vate jet dig­i­tal brands.

The busi­ness was sold to OneSky, part of the Direc­tion­al Avi­a­tion group, in 2018 and now sits along­side Flex­jet, Sen­tient, FX Air, Sirio and Halo. Togeth­er they cov­er all entry points into pri­vate avi­a­tion. His pas­sion for avi­a­tion con­tin­ues with head­ing up Future of Flight inno­va­tion across all their brands.

Reg­is­tra­tion for the vir­tu­al net­work­ing event on July 30th is free and you can sign up by click­ing here.

Those attend­ing will receive a video record­ing of both pre­sen­ta­tions, as well as a PDF doc­u­ment with con­tact details to con­nect with indus­try pro­fes­sion­als after the event has fin­ished.
