eVTOLs, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, will become part of the landscape of major urban centers around the world. For this mode of transport to integrate harmoniously with cities and other existing modes of transport, it will be necessary to engage several players in the urban air mobility ecosystem, including OEMs, infrastructure and air traffic control providers, and especially public managers. The effects of eVTOLs will be significant and it is imperative that cities are prepared for this new reality.
 
The eVTOLs in the Urban Air Mobility Ecosystem Seminar is an opportunity for public managers to learn about the development of this technology and how it is shaping up to reach cities, as well as to understand the positive and disruptive aspects of eVTOLs and the opportunities they provide.
 
The seminar will feature lectures and debates with professionals who are at the forefront of this segment, with discussions on mobility, infrastructure, the environment, legislation and case studies.

eVTOLs, the electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, are already flying. And it’s only a matter of time before they start operating commercially in Brazil and other regions of the world. Faced with this imminent reality, it is important that the players who make up the air mobility ecosystem come together and share with society the stages of development in technology, operation, infrastructure, legislation, safety and the market.
 
Now in its third edition, the eVTOL Forum – Aviation of the Future, which is already a milestone for the sector in Brazil, will bring together national and international speakers in an extensive program of lectures and debates, with the aim of delving into the details of aspects that will be decisive for the success of this ecosystem.
 
The program will cover essential topics for the deployment of eVTOL aircraft in Brazil, such as legal aspects, aircraft certification, automation of airspace control, development of vertiports, air safety, flight tests and cybersecurity.
