Angelo Collins, Executive Director of the Vertical Flight Society, took a moment after the 2023 AirVenture Electric Aircraft Symposium to speak with ANN’s favorite helo SME Rex Alexander to talk about what’s up at the safety, engineering, and advocacy group. With membership levels to reach students, pilots, developers, and stakeholders, there’s a little something for everyone no matter which slice of the vertical-takeoff pie they prefer.
Each year, the Electric Aircraft Symposium brings everyone up to speed on where things stand in the wave of electrification. Each year, news updates show that the average passenger and pilot are closer to commonplace battery-powered flight than ever before. Presentations from those working on the cutting edge help attendees stay abreast of best practices, new developments and impending releases every year just ahead of AirVenture. For those in the world of helicopter, VTOL, and AAM operations, the Vertical Flight Society is a place to be.
