The Rise of
Urban Air Mobility

Monday Sept 18, 2023
As we approach cruising altitude, we will discover what the future of Urban Air Mobility looks like and how eVTOLs will disrupt transportation and transform the industry. This session will explore how vehicles are designed for low noise operation, but also considers the factors of annoyance beyond noise levels and how community acceptance lessons learned in traditional aviation can be taken to prepare for this transformation of the skies.
