This webinar took place July 10, 2020.

COVID-19 could prove to be the making or the breaking of the electrification of electric propulsion. Will the major industry players keep funding research? Can the startups find financing to continue developing electric aircraft? Will changes in how people want to fly create an opportunity for electric aviation?

One thing is already clear, the pressure on aviation to become more sustainable is beginning to return. And electrified aviation – whether battery, hybrid or hydrogen – remains a promising path forward.
