Today we are taking a leap into the future as we attempt to understand the opportunity offered to African aviation from new technologies, specifically e-flight.

At AviaDev in June 2022, the NACO team delivered a thought-provoking session on this topic, which can be viewed here https://youtu.be/CmFEEODUfiE

Accompanying the podcast is a white paper on the subject, which can be downloaded here https://bit.ly/naco22

How close are we to commercialised electric flights?

What are some of the barriers holding back the implementation?
