The Vertical Flight Society’s signature eVTOL class provides in-depth coverage of industry-standard battery systems development (BAE Systems), advanced high-power hybrid-electric hardware (LaunchPoint), PEM fuel cells and hydrogen propulsion and as always, the fundamentals of Vertical Lift and rotor aeromechanics (NASA Ames) from design to state-of-the-art in acoustics (MagLev Aero).

Organized by the VFS eVTOL Technical Committee, this multi-presenter course provides an overview of the unique challenges and opportunities of this new class of vehicles. Both electric and hybrid-electric passenger carrying vertical flight  aircraft are covered for a variety of missions ranging from personal/private use to urban air taxis to regional electric VTOL bizjets.
