Darrell Swanson: Speaking at the DroneX

Darrell Swanson

Strategic Advisor on Advanced Air Mobility  -  EAMaven

Regional Air Mobility as enabled by Advanced Air Mobility

Regional Air Mobility will be enabled by Advanced Air Mobility aircraft (eVTOLs/eCTOL/eSTOL). Due to their lower capital, operating and maintenance costs these aircraft can service routes with demand that is less than the minimum threshold for hydrocarbon aircraft operators. As such, smaller airports will see traffic evolve due to their proximity to passengers who are not served by conventional airlines. The presentation will explore the RAM market and describe the upcoming publication of the UK Regional Air Mobility Index.
