ACC Air Cargo Industry Outlook and Implications for Airport Design

Today’s electric aircraft relies on configurations and technologies that are not even imagined for development of conventional aircraft. This new landscape is characterized by many architectural solutions that leverage electrical technologies in a variety of ways. This 90-minute Webinar from SAE International presents a panel of experts who will provide insight into this evolving area.

The airline industry, represented by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), has set itself a target of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in line with the Paris agreement. But now it is time for ICAO member states to agree on a long-term aspirational goals, giving the industry planning certainty, among others for investment decisions. This webinar sets the scene for what to expect of the two-week event.

The AIAA DEFENSE Forum Executive Steering Committee is pleased to provide this unclassified discussion that will delve into the effects of COVID-19 on the aerospace and defense community. Speakers from government, industry and academia will take an enterprise view and consider lessons learned from all angles, including productivity, supply chain, and workforce. Ample time will be included for questions from the audience, and findings and notes will be captured and shared with the industry.

Manned electric aircraft are transitioning from dream to delivery in a very short time. Several developers have orders up to $165 million to prove it. This webinar shares some of the research from the major new IDTechEx report, Manned Electric Aircraft 2020-2030. It explains how those walking before they run are showing earliest success, from two and four seater pure electric aircraft to seaplane and small passenger plane conversions. Learn how IDTechEx finds that the more glamorous vertical takeoff and landing VTOL and larger fixed wing electric regional aircraft will also be a success but multiple issues mean that it will take longer. What components are involved? Do solar wings make sense? Which companies are in the lead? Range/endurance? What comes next? As sales increase exponentially, learn the basics from this webinar.
