A^3 aims to define the future of flight; my goal was to develop innovative business models that would enable the future of flight to be monetized. First up: Voom: democratizing access to vertical lift. This project is scaling on-demand services for helicopters, with a goal of making helicopters (and future vertical lift transport modes) accessible to a mass market audience.
