Event Details
Join us for our September Youth Learning Webinar with JR Hammond, the founder and CEO of Canadian Air Mobility. He will be discussing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) - or as it is starting to be more broadly referred to, Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) - which is simply the use of aviation to address the daily transportation needs of our communities. Helicopters, general aviation, business aviation and regional airline travel have been providing forms of UAM/AAM for decades. New aircraft using electric propulsion that is safer, cleaner, and quieter than conventional engines, are being developed. Some of these new electric aircraft, known as eVTOL aircraft, take off and land vertically enabling them to operate at vertiports nestled within our cities and suburbs. New operational styles and applications for aviation are likely to emerge in the next 2-5 years and expand dramatically from there.
The zones of operations for AAM, enabled by these new aircraft, include city centres, suburbs to city commuting, edge city to (edge) city, rural access, and commercial hub airport access. Some of the main applications of AAM include airline-style micro haul routes, air metro transit routes, on demand “air taxi” operations, airport shuttle services, and emergency services.
