About the event: Helicopters are the lifelines of infrastructure and safety. The industry today is facing a combination of challenges – human capital, supply chain constraints, production ramp-up, sustainable operations. The VTOL industry is facing challenges of regulations, urban airspace and ground infrastructure, complex flight controls and battery limits. In the WG meeting we discuss on technology intervention on some of these challenges by way of panel discussions and design thinking workshop.
