What it Takes: The Future of Flight

What it Takes: The Future of Flight

What does it take to create technology for the up-and-coming urban air mobility market?

To answer that question, Honeywell Aerospace is launching a new video series, “What it Takes,” that cuts through the hype and focuses on the electronics, propulsion, mechanical components and other systems needed to make these radically new aircraft not just flyable, but viable.

“There are so many challenges when you want to create an entirely new industry, especially in a sphere like aviation which is very technical and very highly regulated as well” says Elan Head, in this pilot episode.

The series focuses on electric and hybrid-electric, vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, known as eVTOLs. More than 150 companies around the world are developing prototypes of these vehicles, and the effort is attracting billions of dollars in investment. Honeywell is working closely with leading innovators like Vertical Aerospace, Volocopter, Jaunt Air Mobility and Pipistrel.

The first episode -- The Future of Flight, provides an overview of urban air mobility and why it has captured the imagination of aircraft designers. New episodes will roll out throughout the fall of 2019: stay tuned for the latest episodes here.
