“VFS Hosts 19th Electric Aircraft Symposium at Oshkosh, Wisconsin in July”

The Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety (VFS) is host­ing its 19th elec­tric Air­craft Sym­po­sium (EAS) at Oshkosh, Wis­con­sin between July 19th and 20th, reports a press release. Dozens of the world’s lead­ing elec­tric air­craft devel­op­ers and tech­nol­o­gy experts will be attend­ing.

This annu­al sym­po­sium is being held on the week­end pri­or to the Exper­i­men­tal Air­craft Asso­ci­a­tion (EAA) Air­Ven­ture, the world’s largest avi­a­tion event, held in Oshkosh on July 21st to 27th.

This year’s EAS is to show­case more than 35 experts par­tic­i­pat­ing in 12 in-depth mod­er­at­ed dis­cus­sions cov­er­ing the full spec­trum of top­ics span­ning the entire advanced air mobil­i­ty (AAM) indus­try. 

Details on the agen­da, reg­is­tra­tion and spon­sor­ships are post­ed at .

Inno­v­a­tive top­ics at EAS include per­son­al and com­mer­cial elec­tric ver­ti­cal, short and con­ven­tion­al take­off and land­ing (eVTOL, eSTOL and eCTOL) air­craft, pilot train­ing require­ments, elec­tric train­ing air­craft, com­mer­cial air taxis, region­al air mobil­i­ty, propul­sion sys­tems (includ­ing bat­tery-elec­tric, hybrid-elec­tric and hydro­gen-elec­tric), air­craft cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, first respon­der mis­sions, flight test­ing, stan­dards devel­op­ment, infra­struc­ture inte­gra­tion, and uncrewed appli­ca­tions.

Held at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Wis­con­sin Oshkosh Cam­pus at Reeve Hall as well as online, con­firmed speak­ers this year include rep­re­sen­ta­tives from lead­ing AAM com­pa­nies AIR, H2FLY, Hydroplane, Joby Avi­a­tion and Wisk, as well as indus­try play­ers, AeroTEC, Bloomy, Bosch, CAE, Evoli­to, H55 and Toray, the US Depart­ment of Energy’s Nation­al Renew­able Ener­gy Lab­o­ra­to­ry (NREL), and many oth­er orga­ni­za­tions.

The Ver­ti­cal Flight Soci­ety is the world’s old­est and largest ver­ti­cal flight tech­ni­cal soci­ety. Since it was found­ed as the Amer­i­can Heli­copter Soci­ety in 1943, the Soci­ety has been a major force in the advance­ment of ver­ti­cal flight. VFS is the glob­al resource for infor­ma­tion on ver­ti­cal flight tech­nol­o­gy. For more than 80 years, it has pro­vid­ed glob­al lead­er­ship for sci­en­tif­ic, tech­ni­cal, edu­ca­tion­al and leg­isla­tive ini­tia­tives that advance the state of the art of ver­ti­cal flight.
