  Episode 228: Glenn Piper, Director of Global Product Management, WireMasters

  Aug 13, 202632 min

  In this episode, eVTOL Insights' Jason Pritchard is joined by Glenn to explore the increasingly critical role of wiring and electrical architecture in Advanced Air Mobility. Glenn discusses how the industry has moved beyond prototype development towards certification, repeatable production and long-term reliability, highlighting the challenges associated with high-voltage systems, partial discharge, EMI, thermal management and fault containment. He explains why electrical architecture must be considered from the earliest stages of aircraft development and examines the manufacturing and supply chain challenges that emerge as programmes transition towards production. The conversation also explores lessons AAM can take from commercial and defence aviation, recent progress towards certification, and emerging technologies including intelligent power distribution, embedded diagnostics and actively cooled conductors. Glenn also shares his vision for what the industry could achieve by 2031 and the role suppliers such as WireMasters can play in supporting reliable, certifiable aircraft at fleet scale.

  Episode 227: Craig Foster, Co-Founder and Senior Research Consultant, Valour Consultancy

  Aug 6, 202629 min

  The latest episode of the eVTOL Insights Podcast welcomes Craig Foster, Co-founder and Senior Research Consultant at Valor Consultancy, to discuss the commercial realities shaping the future of Advanced Air Mobility. Drawing on Valor's latest research into both the electric air taxi and commercial drone markets, Foster explores why the industry is entering a new phase where commercial viability is becoming just as important as technological innovation. Throughout the conversation, Foster examines the assumptions that fuelled the sector's early growth, including expectations around battery technology, operating costs and certification timelines. He explains why metrics such as Cost per Available Seat Mile (CASM) are critical to understanding whether passenger eVTOL services can become profitable, while highlighting the challenges posed by battery replacement costs, infrastructure investment, landing fees and pilot availability. The discussion also looks beyond passenger aircraft, identifying defence, cargo operations and regional air mobility as potentially stronger near-term business opportunities. Foster argues that the commercial drone industry provides valuable lessons for AAM by demonstrating that long-term success depends on solving real operational problems rather than simply introducing new technology.

  Episode 226: Jennifer Trock, Partner at Morgan Lewis

  Jul 30, 202628 min

  In this episode, Jason is joined by Jennifer Trock, trusted advisor at Morgan Lewis, to explore the legal, regulatory and commercial realities shaping one of aviation's most exciting emerging sectors. As the industry moves closer to commercial operations, Jennifer explains why certification is only the beginning. The conversation examines the importance of regulatory harmonisation, vertiport infrastructure, public trust and airspace integration, while also discussing how AI, autonomy and evolving policy frameworks will influence the pace of adoption. Drawing on her experience advising aerospace, aviation and transportation clients around the world, Jennifer also shares why adaptability will be one of the defining characteristics of successful AAM companies, and how shifting geopolitical and regulatory environments are already influencing where commercial opportunities emerge. With the next 12 to 36 months expected to be pivotal for the sector, this episode offers valuable insights into the milestones, challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

  Episode 224: Paulo Venancio, Aerospace Chief Engineer, Expleo

  Jul 23, 202626 min

  In this episode, Paulo discuss the engineering realities of bringing advanced air mobility from flight testing to commercial operations. He argues that certification remains the industry's defining milestone, with successful flight test campaigns providing regulators the confidence needed to approve new aircraft. Paolo explains how startups must build industrialisation, supply chains, airworthiness capabilities and long-term support structures alongside aircraft development, rather than after certification. He also highlights the growing role of digital engineering, digital twins and AI-driven modelling in reducing development time while maintaining the rigorous safety standards expected in aerospace. Drawing on Explio's experience supporting several leading eVTOL manufacturers, he outlines how combining traditional aerospace expertise with emerging technologies can accelerate development without compromising certification.

  Episode 223: J.P. Nauseef, President and CEO of JobsOhio

  Jul 16, 202624 min

  Ohio is positioning itself as a global leader in advanced air mobility (AAM) by building on its rich aerospace heritage, manufacturing expertise, and collaborative innovation ecosystem. In this episode, JobsOhio President and CEO JP Nauseef explains how the state offers a unique end-to-end environment where companies can design, test, certify, manufacture, and scale eVTOL aircraft within a single region. He highlights key assets including the National Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence (NAAMCE), FAA-approved test airspace, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and a network of more than 640 aerospace companies. The discussion also explores Ohio's investments in workforce development, infrastructure, and industry partnerships, including a $300 million experiential learning initiative to train future technicians. Looking ahead, Nauseef outlines how supportive policies, commercial deployment, and continued collaboration will help Ohio attract global investment while creating high-value jobs and shaping the future of aviation.
