UPCOMING WEBINAR
 
An Aviation Week webinar aiming to take a critical eye to the current crop of AAM startups and examine what needs to happen to bridge the gap to certification.

An expert panel will discuss:
  • How AAM OEMs can establish realistic production processes;
  • Whether the current batch of startups will have enough funding to survive through to certification;
  • Which companies are best-positioned to actually develop a production-conforming aircraft–and which are most likely to fizzle out.
