“I think that lots of people are doing lots of separate things and we definitely benefit from networking and collaboration.”

The event was organised by the team at Warwick-based Flux Aviation, who are in the late stages of developing FLUX-75 – a complete electric powertrain package intended to replace combustion engines in a range of popular training aircraft.

Radovan Gallo, CEO of Flux Aviation, added: “The Electric Aviation Symposium has proven to be a pivotal moment in shaping the future of flight.

“The enthusiasm and collaboration demonstrated by the diverse range of participants underscore the industry's commitment to advancing electric aviation.

“We’re excited about the momentum generated by this event and look forward to continued collaboration.”
