Anastasios “Tassos” Kokkalis, Head of Flight Science and Simulations at Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd will discuss how Airlander delivers a future of zero-carbon aviation, connecting the unconnected.

The event explores the role that Airlander’s hybrid aircraft technology plays in delivering a new category in aviation.  With the potential to make air services more efficient, more available, more equitable and more sustainable. Airlander connects the unconnected, overcoming bottlenecks in today’s transport systems, delivering new economic opportunities in underserved places, and breaking the link between air services and emissions.

The talk will cover the Head of Flight Science’s and Simulations vision and strategic direction for the flight science team. With insights into the design, construction, and testing of flight science experiments and digital prototypes will outline how these efforts contribute to HAV’s goals for an environmentally friendly aircraft.

The Hybrid Air Vehicles plans to build Airlander 10 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and will create over 1,200 jobs and a new green aerospace cluster for the region.
