Join the Public Services Discussion Group!
Join a vibrant community of professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts shaping the future of aviation. VFS discussion groups meet monthly to discuss electric aircraft and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, exploring facets of next-generation aviation and advanced air mobility (AAM).
This discussion group focuses on public safety applications such as military operations, fire suppression, police, rescue and first response. These sessions frequently feature guest speakers, sharing their cutting-edge work on AAM, regional air mobility, alternative propulsion, powerplants, infrastructure development and startup support.
Interested in joining this discussion group? Contact Andrew Mearns: andy@multicopter.aero
