A trio of eVTOL aircraft developers—Embraer, Vertical Aerospace, and Volocopter—have started working together to help the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to develop a concept of operations for urban air mobility services. As part of a consortium that also includes air traffic management specialists NATS and Atech, as well as ground infrastructure group Skyports, the partners will conduct simulated operations to explore the potential to transport passengers between London City Airport and London Heathrow Airport, with several stops at points across the UK capital.
In a January 20 announcement, Embraer said that its Eve Urban Air Mobility Solutions business unit will be leading the consortium. Eve was formed last year, having been spun off from the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer’s EmbraerX technology incubator, which also includes Atech. The two London airports, which are 26 miles from each other on the eastern and western ends of the heavily congested city, are also part of the group formed under the auspices of the CAA’s Future Air Mobility Regulatory Sandbox.
