THE WILD WORLD OF URBAN AIR MOBILITY AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES   
Tuesday, August 4, 2020

Join scintillating discussion around what technologies and ventures are poised to change your world!

You are cordially invited to join Wharton Alumni Angels and Wharton Aerospace for a virtual discussion on The Future of Air Mobility and Smart Cities. This session is a part of a virtual series held by Wharton Aerospace.

The elevated future of mobility is far from assured, but major aircraft manufacturers, investors, and technology startups are taking the prospect of urban air transit seriously. Investors have already put hundreds of millions of dollars to develop over 100 eVTOL aircraft globally, and expect them to be operational within a decade. Some studies forecast the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market will be worth tens of billions of dollars across the value chain. In addition to OEMs, other parts of the UAM value chain will include passenger operations, UAS traffic management, operations and maintenance, infrastructure, insurance and financing.

And, now, the USAF has jumped in forming an initiative called Agility Prime- and they reportedly have “Airworthiness Acceleration contracts” and are looking to partner in other ways.
