When #eVTOL developer #Wisk announced last week that it had flown a #drone under instrument flight rules, I wanted to know: How exactly did that work? And what does it mean for other #autonomous #aircraft developers who want to fly #IFR? Some of the answers to those questions are now online at The Air Current: https://theaircurrent.com/technology/behind-the-scenes-of-wisks-new-zealand-drone-flight-into-controlled-airspace/

The #eVTOL developer #Overair revealed its first full-scale prototype today: an 8,000-lb, #uncrewed #electric #tiltrotor that it will use for thrustborne #flight testing starting early next year. For The Air Current, I caught up with Overair's CEO and CCO to learn more about the #aircraft and the company's plans: https://theaircurrent.com/aircraft-development/overair-oa1-butterfly-unveil-first-look-evtol/

Impatient eVTOL Start-ups May Have To Embrace Crawl-Walk-Run

2024 should be a make-or-break year for eVTOL pioneers adamant about launching eVTOL air services in 2025, but regulators aren't prepared to rush.

I was fortunate in being able to work on lots and lots of interesting stories in 2023, on topics including #eVTOL #aircraft, #helicopters, #technology, #sustainability, #safety and more. I rounded up five of the most impactful stories here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/five-things-i-wrote-2023-elan-head-dn5te%3FtrackingId=JVhJxSS%252FT7KXX2vEjtd9VA%253D%253D/?trackingId=JVhJxSS%2FT7KXX2vEjtd9VA%3D%3D
