PLANA has partnered with OneSky to participate in OneSky’s Future of Flight program. Onesky is one of the leading uncrewed aircraft systems traffic managements (UTM) solution provider.
Through this partnership the two companies plan to create synergies by combining OneSky’s airspace situational awareness, flight planning, and simulation, UTM/UATM solutions with PLANA’s expertise in developing and manufacturing hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. In addition, they plan to verify the operational concept of PLANA’s CP-01 aircraft under development, refine the technical roadmap by coordinating technical requirements, explore solutions to AAM industry regulations in various countries, and discover business models.
Robert Hammett, chief executive, OneSky said: “Through this agreement, OneSky has secured an important partner in the operating of AAM aircraft. We will contribute to the evolving AAM industry by implementing safe aircraft operation through sharing know-how and cooperation between the two companies.”
Minyoung Ahn, co-founder, Plana said: “For safe and efficient aviation of AAM aircraft, it is necessary to utilize UTM functions for automation and long-term processes including VFR. We expect to be able to acquire various technologies and know-how related to AAM aircraft operation through this cooperation.”
OneSky’s Future of Flight program is a cooperative ecosystem of industry leaders and innovators that allows partners to come together to shorten the time it takes to get to scalable operations. Currently, more than 20 companies are participating in the program, including Skyports and Volatus, Echodyne, and Supernal, Hyundai’s UAM US subsidiary.
