eVTOL Short Course at AHS Forum 74The number of eVTOL aircraft in development is growing rapidly, with more than 60 designs already announced. Over $1 billion has been invested in the past five years to develop new eVTOL aircraft with much more to come.
AHS—The Vertical Flight Society will be hosting a 1-day Short Course on eVTOL Technology on May 14 in conjunction with the AHS 74th Annual Forum in Phoenix, Arizona. The course will be given by world-class VTOL and eVTOL lecturers from industry, academia and government.
The morning section will focus on the principles, e.g.: aeromechanics of high disk loading props, trim and transient characteristics of VTOL aircraft, electrochemical power, and permanent magnet machines and drives. The afternoon will focus on technologies: NASA's integrated design tool for VTOL/eVTOL, detailed design examples, and flight-worthy power-train construction, integration and testing.
For more information, including the detailed course syllabus, or to register:
