Thales Australia and Swinburne University of Technology sign MoU for R &D on Advanced Air Mobility

Thales Australia and Swinburne University of Technology’s Aerostructures Innovation Research Hub (AIR Hub) have entered a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the development of new operational concepts to support evolving aviation concepts including Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) for next generation aerostructures. The study will focus on Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) to support regional cargo delivery and critical infrastructure inspections, Urban Air Mobility including Electrical Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL), Concept of Operations for urban vertiports, and the integration of concepts of operation for traditional Air Traffic Management (ATM) and new concepts of operation for Unmanned Air Traffic Management
