AHS International is pleased to announce a special session of presentations and discussion on leading-edge Transformative Vertical Flight concepts on May 19, to be held as part of our 72nd Annual Forum and Technology Display at the Palm Beach County Convention Center West Palm Beach, Florida, USA.
The AHS Annual Forum is the world's leading international technical event on vertical flight technology. The three-day meeting will include more than 250 technical papers on every discipline from Acoustics to Unmanned Systems, as well as invited presentations and discussions by leaders in industry and government.
The AHS-led Transformative Vertical Flight Concepts Initiative is supporting the pursuit of emerging technologies and approaches, such as electric/hybrid power and distributed propulsion, that offer the potential to fundamentally transform Vertiport-capable flight configuration designs and operational concepts.
The Transformative Vertical Flight Special Session features presentations from leading US government and industry leaders:
