Air Mobility Summit Latam 2027
Registration begins on November 16, 2026!
Programme
The Air Mobility Summit Latam 2027 marks a definitive transition: the era of eVTOLs has already taken off. Going far beyond mere theories, the Summit’s agenda outlines immediate solutions for scaling the sector in Brazil and Latin America. The focus is on current challenges: vertiport infrastructure, charging networks, airspace control, regulatory harmonization, safety, and technical training.

10:00-10:30 – Global and Brazilian eVTOL Market Perspectives
Analysis of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem, projecting global scalability and forecasting eVTOL business models in the Brazilian market, addressing challenges of adding value, demand projections, and attracting long-term investments.
10:30-11:20 – Vertiport Development: Site Selection, Land Use, and Business Models
Site selection strategies in the face of urban zoning and land use challenges. Discussion on economic solutions, modal integration, and innovative business models (Capex/Opex) to structure, enable, and monetize ground-based infrastructure for AAM.
11:20-12:10 – High-Power Electrification Infrastructure and Network Management
Challenges in deploying ultra-fast charging networks in vertiports. Discussion on microgrid topologies, solid-state batteries, storage solutions (ESS), and the capacity of local facilities to meet the demand for AAM infrastructure.
12:10-13:30 – Break
13:30-14:20 – Multidimensional Security in AAM: AVSEC and Cyber Resilience
Integration between AVSEC regulations (physical security and screening at vertiports) and cybersecurity of eVTOL systems. Debate on mitigating acts of unlawful interference, shielding C2 links (spoofing/jamming), and defending networks and data in the interconnected ecosystem.
14:20-15:10 – Digitalization in airspace management for eVTOLs
Debate on the evolution of ATM, modernization of technologies, and the architecture of automated systems necessary to ensure the safety and fluidity of eVTOL operations in Brazilian urban areas.
15:10-15:30 – Break
15:30-16:20 – Acoustic Signatures of eVTOLs: Manufacturer and City Perspectives
Discussion on the acoustic signatures of eVTOL rotors and urban noise regulations, acoustic certification metrics, and mitigation strategies to ensure public flexibility in densely populated areas.
16:20-17:10 – The eVTOL Passenger Journey: Human-Centered Design and Public Accessibility
Exploration of human-centered design inside and outside aircraft. Discussion on in-flight comfort, pleasure minimization, accessibility, fluid boarding processes, and strategies for building user trust.
10:00-10:30 – Regulatory Harmonization: Challenges and Convergences in the AAM Ecosystem
Discussion on international alignment between civil aviation authorities (FAA, EASA, and ANAC) to ensure interoperability, the adoption of common certification standards, and the efficient integration of new technologies into the global eVTOL ecosystem.
10:30-11:12 – Regulatory Landscape in Latin America: Integration, Maturity, and Regional Challenges
Comparative assessment of the readiness level of aeronautical authorities in Latin America, exploring the challenges for operator certification, bilateral agreements, and the adaptation of airspace rules to regional operational realities.
11:20-12:10 – Strategic Formulation of the National Advanced Air Mobility Policy
Analysis of the structuring of a legal and support framework for AAM in Brazil, addressing incentives for the supply chain, integration between federative entities, intermodal integration, and public policies to enable the national AAM ecosystem.
12:10-13:30 – Break
13:30-14:20 – Lessons and data from the ANAC regulatory sandbox
Presentation of the practical results of the regulatory sandbox and how the collection of data from experimental operations helps ANAC mitigate risks and formulate rules for the development of eVTOL infrastructure.
14h20-15h10 – Type Certification and Continued Airworthiness Requirements
Technical discussion on eVTOL certification guidelines, focusing on the development of compliance methods, risk assessment, redundancy of critical systems, and ensuring safety levels equivalent to or higher than commercial aviation.
15:10-15:30 – Break
15h30-16h20 – Emergency and Air Logistics Operations with eVTOLs
Technical and regulatory feasibility of using eVTOLs in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and logistics. Discussion on cabin design requirements, emergency protocols, and thermal control of sensitive cargo.
16:20-17:10 – Human Capital Development: Training of Pilots and Maintenance Professionals
This session covers pilot transition using simulators and human factors, as well as new curricula for mechanics and technicians specializing in electric propulsion, high-voltage systems, batteries, and composite material structures for eVTOLs.
