What is this webinar about?

Innovation in air mobility will transform how we connect people and deliver services, and lead to new economic opportunities. To support this opportunity, we are leading the Future Flight Standards Programme, in partnership with UKRI, and together with the Future Flight Challenge consortia and industry stakeholders. This will accelerate the safe trialling, development and integration of new types of aircraft and air mobility.

When attending the webinar, you will:

  • Learn about the programme, its role in enabling wider commercialization and driving technology investment to the UK
  • Understand how the standards programme relates to government initiatives and regulation
  • Discover the new standards landscape and a vocabulary standard, and how to get involved in our online community to learn more and help shape future standards
  • Gain valuable perspectives and insights from key stakeholders and innovators
