The electrification of air travel is one of the toughest challenges we face in our push toward reaching Net Zero. Fortunately, innovation and passion for the challenge of transforming air flight are in the blood of Dr Tim Woolmer, director of Evolito & founder of YASA, who’s been at the vanguard of the electric revolution for the past fifteen years.
Dr Woolmer is continuing the aerospace innovation journey started by his grandfather and engineering hero Dr Bob Feilden, a member of Frank Whittle’s legendary WWII team, which invented the first jet engines.
Whether destiny is playing a role or not, Dr Woolmer is clearly a man on a mission: staring down the great engineering challenge of our lifetime: electric flight.
