The Allplane Podcast #122, with Flynow’s Co-founder Yvonne Winter

Flynow is an Austrian eVTOL developer with big ambitions and, so far, a low media profile. But you can be sure that if you ever come across one of its eCopters, with its distinctive capsule-like, tail-less shape, it will catch your eye!

Yvonne Winter, our guest in this episode of the podcast, is the co-founder and CCO of this startup, which aims to produce tens of thousands of electrically-powered eCopter eVTOLs, both for cargo and passenger transportation. The idea is that the eCopters will be automated fly so that costs go down to the point when eCopters become competitive with land transport.

Despite being based at the foot of the Alps, it may be the Saudi deserts that may first see the eCopters in action, though, since Flynow is working with a local partner to produce and test these small aircraft in the Middle Eastern Kingdom.

In our conversation, Yvonne enumerate the advantages of the approach Flynow has chosen and why she is confident the eCopter will soon be operating commercial missions, in Saudi Arabia first and then elsewhere.

So, tune in for an interesting conversation about the no nonsense way to design an eVTOL: leveraging proven technologies, set for itself achievable goals and made small steps towards their fulfillment!
