The CAFE Foundation, which works to promote new aircraft technologies, held its 12th Electric Aircraft Symposium in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, in July, and now all 19 of the speakers’ presentations have been posted online. The forums explore the future of electric-powered aviation and opportunities in the sector. The speakers include representatives from Aurora Flight Sciences, Uber Elevate, BRS Aerospace, Terrafugia and more.
“Our industry faces challenges,” says CAFE Executive Director Yolanka Wulff in the event’s opening remarks, including not only technology but also regulation, certification, funding, strategy and public acceptance. Yet, “electric flight is becoming a reality,” she said, and she expects a near-term global revolution in all-electric, hybrid and autonomous flight. The CAFE Foundation partnered with the Vertical Flight Society to produce the videos.EAS 2019 will be held in Oshkosh, July 20-21, the weekend prior to EAA AirVenture.
