In autonomous flights, where a pilot is absent, situational awareness becomes crucial for both weather and aircraft deconfliction. In a recent episode of the Dawn of Autonomy podcast, Dr. Christopher Zarzar, Director of Weather Strategy and Innovation at TruWeather Solutions, and Basil Yap, President of AeroX, discussed weather challenges for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the technology required for weather awareness for this advanced aviation and how they tackled both head on in a recent joint study in North Carolina (NC). The implications of their work reach far beyond one state, with lessons learned for all businesses across the world.
