The business world is facing yet another transformation, in this case relating to movement. The electric aerial vehicle revolution is about to transform personal and business travel, transportation, logistics, and supply chains. This new advanced air mobility phenomenon is inventing personal aerial travel, air taxis, new first responder capabilities, and self-flying vehicles, enabling millions of consumers around the world to take to the skies just as they adopted road travel decades ago. Emerging aerial technology, detailed in Chuck Martin’s latest book “Flying Vehicles: The Emergence of Personal Air Travel, Flying Cars, and Air Taxis,” is about transporting people and things totally differently than in the past and creating efficiencies to travel to locations previously out of practical reach. The electric aerial revolution is being borne out of startups, established brands, airlines, and forward-looking governmental agencies fueling the velocity of aerial innovation. The new electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, which take off and land straight up and down without the need for a traditional runway, are the transportation of the future. This fast-paced, informative presentation details the global role of flying vehicles, air taxis, flying cars, drones, and the massive challenges and impact on logistics, supply chains, the travel industry, and societal behavior. The advanced air mobility revolution is happening now, and Chuck Martin delves into the upheaval of the entire transportation infrastructure that is becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
