An interactive discussion (without AV or slides) where participants can share views on what they see at the challenges for urban air mobility to successfully integrate with aviation, and the potential solutions and approaches that could help make this exciting new world a reality.
Located in the Shannon Freezone and directly servicing the entire West of Ireland through its partnership with the Shannon Airport, the Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) facilitates the test and validation of mobility innovations – on the road, sea, and land – so that everyone involved, ranging from researchers to multi-national corporations to start-ups and local communities/government entities can conceive, develop, trial, and deploy societally-transformative solutions.
In Fall 2021, FMCI worked with Skyports, Avtrain, Shannon Group, and Federal Express to trial freight delivery services using autonomous, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations. This represented just the beginning of a planned roadmap of increasingly-complex operations at FMCI. Ultimately, additional R&D activities and investment in Ireland’s Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) industry provide a pathway to achieving complete commercial operations that deliver efficient and sustainable transport of goods and people for the future.
