Advanced Air Mobility, also referred to as the Low Atmosphere Economy, is the next frontier in the aerospace marketplace. It’s more than just “flying cars” – it will revolutionize how we get from one place to another. And as I write this, there are more than 500 companies vying for their position in defining this new reality!

The demands of this new approach to transportation are different than any other that has come before them – combining the safety requirements of a modern airliner, the power system and lightweighting of an EV, with the low-cost high production levels of an automotive factory.

The need for fast, lightweight, high accuracy coating technologies points directly toward energy curing as the best solution to these seemingly conflicting objectives.

In this presentation we will:

  • define Advanced Air Mobility and the Lower Atmosphere Economy.
  • identify how it relates to the existing aerospace marketplace – the similarities, but more importantly the differences.
  • demonstrate how the demands of this burgeoning marketplace will drive different approaches to manufacturing.
  • establish how these new approaches align directly with modern energy cure coatings and coating processes.
  • reveal why now is the ideal time to be focused on this opportunity.
