Varon Vehicles to launch first Skyscraper Virtual Summit and showcase work to implement Urban Air Mobility in Latin America

Varon Vehi­cles will launch its first Sky­scraper Vir­tu­al Sum­mit this month, which will fea­ture inter­views, pre­sen­ta­tions and videos focus­ing on the imple­men­ta­tion of Urban Air Mobil­i­ty in Latin Amer­i­ca.

The com­pa­ny start­ed engag­ing with var­i­ous stake­hold­ers from across the indus­try ear­li­er this year, as part of its series of eight think tanks which ran from August to Octo­ber. Top­ics dis­cussed includ­ed air vehi­cles, ver­ti­ports, insur­ance, air­space inte­gra­tion and reg­u­la­tions.

Sky­scraper is the cul­mi­na­tion of all those con­ver­sa­tions and from Novem­ber 20th, any­one can watch all of the con­tent. Those watch­ing can also inter­act with the speak­ers, but only until Decem­ber 15th.

Com­pa­nies which have part­nered with Varon Vehi­cles for Sky­scraper include Embraer, Real-Time Inno­va­tion, PS&S, GE Avi­a­tion, Jaunt Air Mobil­i­ty, Hyundai Motor Group, NEXA Cap­i­tal Part­ners, Hon­ey­well Aero­space, Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety and the Cana­di­an Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty Con­sor­tium.

Felipe Varon, CEO and Founder of Varon Vehi­cles, said: “Sky­scraper 2020 is Varon Vehi­cles first vir­tu­al sum­mit, it will be open to every­one to vis­it any­time start­ing Novem­ber 20th.

“All mate­r­i­al will be avail­able per­ma­nent­ly and vis­i­tors will be able to inter­act with pre­sen­ters. We’ll be hav­ing excit­ing pre­sen­ta­tions from all our ecosys­tem par­tic­i­pants on specifics about our imple­men­ta­tion of Urban Air Mobil­i­ty in Latin Amer­i­ca. I’d like to invite all the com­mu­ni­ty and pub­lic in gen­er­al to tune in when it airs!”

The com­pa­ny is work­ing on devel­op­ing a very con­fined and con­trolled trans­porta­tion sys­tem, which con­sists of a series of ver­ti­ports con­nect­ed to each oth­er via well defined and per­ma­nent vir­tu­al lanes. It is estab­lish­ing part­ner­ships with eVTOL air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ers to pro­vide its vehi­cle fleets, and plans its first imple­men­ta­tion to be in Colom­bia.

Each ver­ti­port will tar­get a spe­cif­ic area and they will be placed both inside and out­side of exist­ing urban struc­tures to gen­er­ate city growth, and with­out the need for addi­tion­al phys­i­cal infra­struc­ture.

Varon Vehi­cles is also devel­op­ing infra­struc­ture net­works that can be imple­ment­ed in any city and sur­round­ings in a low cost man­ner, and which also pro­vide new fast trans­porta­tion con­nec­tions with­out the need to build roads or rails, gen­er­ate new desir­able, com­mer­cial and res­i­den­tial devel­op­ment.
