"The work that we’ve done, most recently for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), is really directly in support of larger AAM-style aircraft. We’ve also done this for commercial, civilian manufacturers. There’s various military manufacturers, as well as commercial and civilian manufacturers, and they all really have the same need. The system that we have been very fortunate to receive support from the Air Force to develop provides exactly the same system that can be used on an advanced aviation system and larger aviation system. It’s really the same system that we’ve been testing for the Air Force that we would put on an AAM aircraft, so all this testing is relevant." Thank you Advanced Air Mobility International and Joseph Macey for the excellent conversation.

With the Oklahoma Innovation Conference and Expo underway, a good time to listen to the recent discussion our CEO Kraettli Lawrence Epperson had with Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell about the growth and opportunities around autonomous flight both here in #Oklahoma and beyond. #autonomousflight #aviationinnovation
