Le recyclage du combustible nucléaire d’Oklo : Un pas de géant pour l’énergie propre

La démonstration réussie du recyclage du combustible nucléaire par Oklo Inc. est une étape importante pour la technologie de l’énergie propre et l’avenir prometteur de l’énergie nucléaire.

Oklo, leader de la technologie de l’énergie propre à fission rapide, a fait un pas de géant dans sa mission de révolutionner l’énergie nucléaire. L’annonce récente de l’entreprise souligne une réalisation importante : l’achèvement réussi de sa première démonstration de bout en bout du recyclage avancé du combustible, qui marque un moment décisif pour l’industrie et donne un coup de fouet aux applications à l’échelle commerciale.

L’avenir du Vertiport dans le MAI : Le potentiel de l’énergie nucléaire

Dans le domaine des solutions énergétiques avancées, Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) suit de près la renaissance de l’industrie nucléaire. Cet article explore le potentiel des petits réacteurs modulaires (SMR) et des microréacteurs (MR) en tant qu’options viables pour alimenter l’infrastructure de vertiport dans lamobilité aérienne avancée (MAI), en soulignant leurs avantages en termes de sécurité, de polyvalence et d’économie.

Electric Air Mobility is Busy With More Coming Soon

Hello everyone! I wanted to take a moment to explain why we haven’t been posting much lately. Rest assured, it’s not due to a lack of content or interest, but rather because we’ve been incredibly busy launching a company and managing various projects.

In fact, we have several articles that are almost ready to go, but we want to make sure they receive the attention they deserve. One topic we plan to cover soon is the recent article claiming the “death of eVTOL industry” published on Air Insight.

As a former journalist with over 18 years of experience, I believe it’s essential to question the sources and motivations behind such claims. We’ll be taking a closer look at this topic and providing our own insights.

Additionally, we’ve delivered several international presentations on Patreon, which we’d love to share with you. If you’re interested, please let us know, and we’ll consider making them available for purchase.

We’re also working on a three-part video series focused on electric mobility, multi-mobility convergence, and more. These videos will be part of our upcoming keynote presentation at DRIFTx in Abu Dhabi on April 25th. Keep an eye out for those, and we hope to return to our regular posting schedule soon.

Thanks for your patience, and we’re excited to share all the exciting developments happening in the world of advanced air mobility!

Come and meet Nicolas Zart in Ras Al Khaiman, UAE on February 27th, 2024.

AAM Innovation and a Flurry of Patents over a Decade

Perfect timing as I prepare to deliver another keynote at the Arab Aviation Summit next week on the topic of electric propulsion innovations and how they are shaping the future of advanced air mobility (AAM). Please join us in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE on the 27th and 28th of February 2024.

Come and meet Nicolas Zart in Ras Al Khaiman, UAE on February 27th, 2024.

In the meantime, Lufthansa Innovation Hub wrote about how over the last 14 years, the AAM industry filed an unprecedented 760 patent filings record.

AAM Innovations Point to a Maturing Industry

These developments are a sign that the industry is not only gaining momentum, but has reached the critical maturity level. With a recent rise in patent in the AAM sector, the data since 2022 shows how these innovation are shaping the future of AAM.

The chart above chart shows how the US accounts for the majority of patent filings with in 2022, 60% of all AAM patents originated from the U.S., up 71% by 2023 and solidifies the country’s role internationally. China holds the second patent filing spot, but saw its share halve from 16% in 2022 to just 8% in 2023. Europe saw a decline to only 7% of the total patents filed in 2023. Lilium, ranking fifth and representing the forefront of European AAM innovation, significantly expanded its patent portfolio in 2023.

Three U.S. companies stand above here, Joby Aviation, Wisk Aero, and Beta Air with Ips. Specifically, Last year alone, Beta Air has filed for more patents than any other company within a single year.

This also has attracted traditional aerospace stakeholders such as Honeywell and BEA Systems drawing from their other industry experience.

Collaboration runs high these days, another testament of industry maturity. Archer and Wisk Aero, under the OK of Boeing, are working together. We will see more collaborations happen.

As the chart illustrates, the category known as “Power and Magic Movers,” predominantly focused on propulsion and energy systems, leads not just in the volume of patent filings for both 2022 and 2023 but also showcases the most significant uptick in intellectual property (IP) activities.

A New Urban Mobility Index

A new urban mobility index from The Oliver Wyman Forum, in partnership with the University of California, Berkeley, published its fifth Urban Mobility Readiness Index, ranks 65 major cities worldwide on their preparedness for mobility’s next chapter.

Stay tuned for more that we are officially live!
