Abstract;
Electrification in aerospace is currently driven by developments in the Advanced Air Mobility segment. Hybrid and all-electric Commuter and eVTOL aircraft will transform existing markets or even create completely new markets. The technology to make this happen is there and the route to certification is getting more and more defined.
This is the time to think about the next steps and upcoming challenges: How do we maintain these aircraft? How can we deploy the required charging infrastructure? And what role will digitally-enabled services and new business model play?
