– overview
Traffic management systems play an essential role in safely and seamlessly integrating existing airspace for the proliferation of drones, flying cars, and more. Since their founding in 2015, UniFly and Aloft have led the UTM industry, contributing to the development of the drone and flying car industry through the use of flight management technology. Both companies, of which Terra Drone is a major shareholder, have always been at the forefront of UTM development and believe that the implementation of UTM will not only advance digitalization and automation, but also have a significant impact on the aviation industry as a whole.
Additionally, the guest speaker will be Daniel Newman, CTO of the AAM business of aerospace giant Honeywell. Honeywell recently won contracts worth more than $10 billion (approximately 1.5 trillion yen) for AAM projects such as flying cars. Also, Archer
Aviation, Supernal, Vertical
Through partnerships with industry leaders such as Aerospace and Lilium, we are contributing to the long-term growth of the AAM industry and leading the way worldwide.
In the talk session, UniFly and Aloft, which have been leaders in the UTM industry, along with Honeywell, which has a proven track record, will look back on the evolution of UTM over the past 10 years and discuss how the industry may change over the next 10 years.
