Moving the future forward with ACORN®


COmmENT Growing up, some of my favourite films were the Back to the Future trilogy. The flying DeLorean certainly sparked my interest, but like many I assumed it was the stuff of science fiction. Today, however, ‘Urban Air Mobility’ (UAM) is becoming

72% and 64% of the 25 largest mainstream aerospace manufacturers and suppliers, respectively, are engaged in air mobility technologies. There are said to be a few hundred electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) models currently being designed, and dozens of real prototypes already flying around. In fact a Sita report predicts that flying taxis will be abundant at international airports by 2032. So perhaps flying cars are no longer as farfetched as they once seemed! Turn to page 44 to read more about this topic and the technology behind it. Another feature covered in this section examines ‘Light land: lightweight landing gear’ from


Farnborough based TISICS. According to the company, by adopting Light Land, airlines are projected to save £650k in fuel costs per year, per aircraft, making them 13% more cost-effective compared to their titanium counterparts. Find out more by turning to page 43.
