The advanced air mobility (AAM) sector’s drive to exploit new technologies such as electric power and simplified vehicle operations presents huge challenges. At the same time, it offers great opportunities to companies like Parker Aerospace to let their decades-long experience in complex aviation programs bear fruit. Last month, the U.S.-based group completed the acquisition of aerospace group Meggitt, significantly expanding its portfolio with products that it believes will make it a valuable partner for developers of electric aircraft.
