“Aviation will change rapidly and we wanted quickly to increase the knowledge about electric aviation in Finland. Our aim is to research e.g. the aircraft batteries, performance, charging infrastructure and sustainability of aviation, and we wanted to do this together with other visionaries.”, says Janne Vasama the chairman of the Helsinki Electric Aviation Association.
