Jason PritchardHOST
Welcome to the Women in AAM podcast series by eVTOL Insights.
Jason PritchardHOST
I'm Jason Pritchard and in each episode, our chairperson Marilyn Pearson will shine a spotlight on the incredible women helping to shape the future of advanced mobility.
Jason PritchardHOST
From engineers and entrepreneurs to policymakers, pilots and pioneers, Marilyn will share their stories, insights and journeys celebrating the vital role they play in driving innovation and building an inclusive industry.
Jason PritchardHOST
Thank you for joining us as we explore the people, ideas and breakthroughs making advanced mobility a reality.
Marilyn PearsonHOST
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Women in AAM podcast.
Marilyn PearsonHOST
Today, I have a really good friend of mine and a brilliant writer.
Marilyn PearsonHOST
She's going to talk to us about drones, AAM, what's happening in the industry.
Marilyn PearsonHOST
So, Miriam, welcome.
Jason PritchardHOST
Jerome, really looking forward to this conversation.
Jason PritchardHOST
So to start with, though, could you give our listeners an overview of Schneider Electric's involvement in aviation and, if possible, how the company is engaging with this emerging advanced air mobility market?
Jerome TourdiatGUEST
Well, Schneider Electric has got a very long history of supporting critical aviation infrastructure.
Jerome TourdiatGUEST
So, of course, through airport electrification, energy management, power distribution and building management systems.
TowerHOST
The FAA has been working on this.
TowerHOST
They have an Advanced Air Mobility, or AAM, interagency working group.
TowerHOST
They published a comprehensive roadmap for integrating these vehicles into the National Airspace.
TowerHOST
They are engaged with the eVTOL manufacturers, including Wisk, through the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee process.
TowerHOST
That is a historic milestone.
TowerHOST
Joby's aircraft is designed for piloted commercial service initially, which made the certification path more tractable than what Wisk is attempting with full autonomy.
TowerHOST
But the Joby certification establishes precedents in structural standards, power plant requirements, and performance specifications that will shape the certification landscape for the entire advanced air mobility sector.
TowerHOST
Archer Aviation is on a similar trajectory, pursuing type certification for a piloted eVTOL aimed at urban air taxi markets.
Jason PritchardHOST
Great, Doug, really good to have you on the show.
Jason PritchardHOST
Now, Hartzell Propeller needs no introduction, um, when it comes to aviation, but because some of our audience are fairly sort of new to the industry or maybe don't work in it like we do, how has that heritage then helped the company support this rapidly evolving advanced air mobility market?
Doug WashburnGUEST
Uh, um, well, Hartzell was founded over 100 years ago, and over the course of that 100 years, we've developed a very good reputation within the aviation community.
Doug WashburnGUEST
That certainly has been an advantage as we've worked in the air mobility space.
Doug WashburnGUEST
AAM applications present some unique challenges and very complex loading and environmental challenges as well.
Doug WashburnGUEST
Uh, over the course of 100 years, Hartzell's demonstrated that we're able to deliver designs that meet very difficult standards such as those of AAM.
Doug WashburnGUEST
Um, certification is also obviously a big deal for advanced air mobility.
Doug WashburnGUEST
Um, core competency, one of the core competencies of Hartzell is, is certification.
