Leading Vertical Flight Experts Plan For Future Airspace Integration

Are you planning to attend the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) XPONENTIAL 2023 in Denver, Colorado? Join VFS as we host a very special panel on Wed., May 10, 2023, from 11:30 am – 2:30 pm MDT!

The future of vertical flight, especially for advanced rotorcraft and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for passenger and cargo delivery mission, will be greatly enhanced by autonomous flight, and there has been tremendous progress in this area in recent years. The Vertical Flight Society has brought innovative executives from the world’s leading vertical flight organizations together to discuss the progress towards autonomous flight.

Delivery drones, regional shuttles, remotely piloted cargo aircraft — all will need safe and equitable access to national airspace alongside today’s civil helicopters and commercial airliners, as well as military aircraft in civil airspace. This seventh annual panel by the Vertical Flight Society (VFS), and supported this year by the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (AIAA), brings together manufacturers, operators, research and regulators to discuss how the skies can safely, securely and efficiently be opened for all.
