WEBINAR
Join Agility Prime Team Leader Col. Nate Diller and Vertical Flight Society Executive Director Mike Hirschberg to discuss this glimmer of hopeful news in hard times.

Questions discussed will include:

  • With the impact of COVID-19 on private investment and corporate R&D alike, can the nascent electric VTOL industry survive to inaugurate the age of urban air mobility?
  • Can a U.S. Air Force program called Agility Prime help the industry get through this interregnum and attract investment?
  • Why was VTOL such a hot topic before COVID-19 hit. Can it regain that heat?
