Description
? Today we are taking a leap into the future as we attempt to understand the opportunity offered to African aviation from new technologies, specifically e-flight. At AviaDev in June 2022, the NACO team delivered a thought-provoking session on this topic, which can be viewed here Accompanying the podcast is a white paper on the subject, which can be downloaded here In the podcast, we discuss: ? What inspired the report and what it sets out to understand? ? The sustainable technologies available currently ✈️ Why e-flight, rather than SAF or hydrogen power craft? ? How close we are to commercialised electric flights? ? What are some of the barriers holding back the implementation? ? How will we fund the infrastructure required at an airport level? ? What sort of connectivity could this technology offer Africa? ? How do we make it a reality? Is it simply a mixture of collaboration and cash?
