In this episode of The New Era of Engineering, host Brian Doherty is joined by Gianmarco Scalabrin, Head of Technology and Innovation for Aerospace at Capgemini Engineering, to explore a question that feels straight out of science-fiction: are flying cars finally within reach?
Gianmarco explains why the idea is no longer just a futuristic fantasy. With advances in electric propulsion, battery technology, and autonomous flight software, electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft are becoming a real possibility. The conversation dives into the key drivers of this revolution—zero emissions and connectivity—and how these innovations could transform urban mobility, emergency response, and accessibility.
They also tackle the critical issue of safety, highlighting the role of digital certification, AI, and machine learning in ensuring these aircraft meet the highest standards.
Could flying cars be part of everyday life by 2030? Tune in to find out.
