EASA's Rotorcraft and VTOL Symposium 2020 is a unique forum in Europe to discuss the latest developments for rotorcraft from a safety perspective. Due to the COVID 19 circumstances this year, the Symposium will be modified into a live virtual event focusing on VTOL developments and safety perspectives. Speakers will be EASA Experts from various disciplines and will present the latest developments to enable the safe operation of VTOL aircraft.
The new date for the UK's Rotorcraft and VTOL Symposium 2020 is December 9, 2020. EASA had to make this adjustment to take into account some enhancements of the technical set-up for the virtual event. They hope you will be able to join them on the new date.
