Meet Us In Person
The Vertical Flight Society’s 82nd Annual Forum & Technology Display (VFS Forum 82) brings together the global vertical flight community at a pivotal moment for the industry. As platforms move from concept to certification and scaled deployment, the focus is shifting toward integrated, certifiable, and sustainable system architectures.
FEV Aerospace is proud to contribute to this transition—both through technical thought leadership and direct engagement with industry partners.
Our capabilities include:
- Hybrid, electric, and fuel cell propulsion systems
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and simulation-led development
- Flight-critical controls, electronics, and software
- Test, validation, and certification support
As the industry continues to evolve, the ability to bridge engineering depth with system-level integration is critical—and central to how FEV delivers value.
Driving the Next Generation of
Vertical Flight
At this year’s Forum, FEV will present technical papers addressing some of the most pressing challenges in the sector:
- Multi-standard safety assurance for VTOL aircraft, aligning civil and defense frameworks
- Model-based optimization of fuel cell-powered eVTOL systems to accelerate development and reduce risk
- Cross-domain integration of automotive fuel cell technologies into aerospace applications
These topics reflect a broader industry shift toward propulsion innovation, digital engineering, and system-level integration as key enablers of next-generation platforms.
