Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft
Two experts discuss the design and construction of Ascendance Flight Technologies’ new green VTOL aircraft project.
Few developments in aviation have been as difficult to achieve as emissions-free flight. Combining green propulsion with vertical takeoff and landing, along with fixed wing speed and range used to be impossible, but Ascendance Flight Technologies has developed an electric aircraft that and not only fills all three performance requirements, but can do so as a commercially viable proposition. It’s a significant achievement, made possible by new generation of advanced design tools that incorporate high-level simulation, the Virtual Twin and cloud connectivity.
Joining engineering.com at the Engineering Roundtable to discuss these new state-of-the-art technologies are:
- Benoît Ferran, Co-Founder and CTO, Ascendance Flight Technologies
- Roberto Licata, Aerospace & Defense Industry Solution Experience Director, Dassault Systèmes
