Aviation is entering the era of electric flight, from eVTOL aircraft and air taxis to cargo drones. Developing electrified aircraft requires more than replacing conventional propulsion – it is a complex system challenge around energy storage, electric powertrains, onboard systems, safety, performance, and reliability.
Simulation plays a key role in accelerating this transformation. It enables engineers to evaluate concepts, optimize designs, and identify risks early, long before prototypes are built.
In this event, the leading voices from the industry, including Vertical Aerospace, Unisphere, and Apeleon, will share their insights and real-world experiences in developing the future of electric flight.
Join us and hear from industry experts and simulation specialists about how simulation is shaping the future of electric aviation, advanced air mobility, and next-generation propulsion.
