12 Think:Act Aircraft Electrical Propulsion F ELECTRICAL PROPULSION DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, 2006-30+ [YEAR OF FIRST FLIGHT] The majority of developments are undetaken by independents in traditional aerospace geographies. landing (VTOL) and all-electrical propulsion to give the benefits of low noise pollution and zero emissions. Many of these developments have advanced and made ground-breaking progress. In Germany, the Volo- Copter VC-200 flew as early as 2013. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2017, VoloCopter will be authorised as an Autonomous Air Taxi (AAT) in Dubai, having re- ceived clearance from the United Arab Emirates' Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Lilium Aviation also performed its maiden flight in 2016 and plans a 5-seater taxi for urban mobility, and the Chinese drone company Ehang has also been cleared as of last year to start testing its Ehang 184 in Nevada, beginning its FAA regulatory approval process. A number of other players are operating in stealth mode without much press or fanfare, but have also made noteworthy progress. Zee Aero's full-scale prototype was recently spotted in flight, while Joby Aviation's S2 is ex- pected to start full-scale prototype testing later this year. Other projects like the DeLorean Aerospace's DR-7 con- tinue to make progress with a VTOL flying car, due for its first flight in 2018. A further development in these urban mobility con- cepts actually came from automotive companies like Geely (owner of Volvo) and mobility providers like Uber. The former has entered the aerospace industry by acquir- ing US-based Terrafugia, with its TF-X "flying car". The latter provided a detailed business case in its "Elevate" white paper published in October 2016, which in turn motivated additional organisations like Bell Helicopter, Mooney Aircraft and Pipistrel to partner with Uber to work on an undisclosed project. While this may just be an early spike of activity before the pace of development set- tles down, there certainly seems to be a willingness from corporates and investors alike to enter this field. Aerospace incumbents, not to be undone, are also investing considerable resources into the trend. How- ever, industry giants Airbus and Boeing are taking dif- ferent approaches. Airbus has taken an holistic ap- proach with an Urban Air Mobility portfolio, not only initiating projects within existing divisions (e.g. Airbus Helicopter and the CityAirbus, a four-seater all-electric multi-rotor VTOL aircraft for urban environments), but also identifying a need for rapidity in development with the creation of a dedicated new organisation, A3 ("A cubed"), a Silicon Valley-based outpost that is over- seeing the development of Vahana, a single-seat auton- omous electrically-propelled aircraft which is expected BY AIRCRAFT MAKER TYPE Motor manufacturer 5% Start-ups & independents 46% BY MAKER ORIGIN Other 7% NAFTA 46% BY PROPULSION TYPE Distributed propulsion 31% Dual fan 23% Source: Roland Berger Big aerospace company 18% Other aerospace company 31% Western Europe 47% Single fan 46%PDF Image | Aircraft Electrical Propulsion The Next Chapter of Aviation 2017
