eVTOLUTION: Pioneering the Future of Urban Air Mobility


10 February 2025


The Horizon Europe project  eVTOLUTION hosted its first public  workshop, "Novel Tools for Novel Aircraft”, on February 6, 2025, at the GKN Technology Center in Bristol, UK.  At this milestone event, project partners presented the initial outcomes of their work and outlined their plans for the next stages of the project.  eVTOLUTION is the first Horizon Europe project aimed at enabling an efficient, decarbonized, safe and quiet Urban Air Mobility (UAM).



M12 PROGRESS MEETING

5 February 2025


The project partners met at GKN Aerospace (Bristol, UK) to discuss the progress accomplished during the last 6 months, mostly over the WPs 2 and 3. The WP2 developments concerned the upgrade of the simulation tools and experimental mock-ups. As for WP3, the final details were provided concerning the two mission profiles (constrained intracity Brussels Schumann - Brussels South Charleroi airport and unconstrained intercity Brussels Zaventem airport - Antwerpen airport) and aircraft layout (propellers diameters, positions relative to the wing, etc.). Furthermore, design exercises, to be executed in the following months within WP4, were selected.
