In this episode, Euan walks us through the design perspective when bringing eVTOL aircraft concepts to life, especially how designing for the sky differs from designing for the road.
Euan talks about balancing form and function in electric or hybrid aircraft, and shares more details about the work Frank Stephenson Design is doing with Chinese eVTOL OEM AutoFlight.
We talk about how emotion might play a role in the design of AAM aircraft and what the biggest human factor challenges might be when designing interiors and cabins, incluing how we envision accessibility and inclusivity.
Euan also talks about how design can help normalise and build trust in these new aircraft and we ask him if he could design the ideal AAM experience, what they would like.
