Aviation museums, associations, and industry stakeholders routinely distort or rewrite women history. Are they credible in their claim to "support women" when they deliberately ignore the March 8 anniversary of the world's first female pilot license? What do you think? #WomenHistory #aviation #pilot #WOAW24

eVTOL Insights is super excited to release its third Special Report of 2023, which celebrates and recognises the amazing women who work across the global Advanced Air Mobility market. With so many excellent nominations submitted to us by industry peers, the final report was whittled down to 16 individuals — all of whom are being featured for the first time. From CEOs with inspirational stories, those leading internal teams on day-to-day operations, to engineers building and developing the aircraft of tomorrow, we hope you enjoy this inaugural edition. Similar to the Powerbook and CTO Report, we will be releasing a ‘Women in eVTOL’ Special Report every year as we continue to share the stories of more incredible women. We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination. Picking our final list was an incredibly difficult decision, as every person nominated was worthy of their place in the report. We have kept details of the remaining nominees on record and will consider them in future special reports. With that in mind, we can confirm our final ‘Special Report’ of 2023 will be published in Q4. The theme is ‘Ones to Watch’, where we recognise and celebrate individuals who the AAM industry should be taking notice of and have an exciting future ahead of them. A call for nominations will be issued in October. #avfoilnews #evtolnews #aviation #evtol #vtol #womeninaviation #specialreport #evtolinsights

International Women’s Day: Women In Drones As we celebrate International Women’s Day today, we honor the women in the Drone Industry who continue to elevate their skills, take the challenge, educate us all, and make a difference in drone industry and in many other industries we regularly cover.

And as we go thru the emergence of this technology, women will play a bigger role and are expected to contribute in the industry in the years to come. Let’s continue to encourage and celebrate women in the drone industry. We can benefit from women’s perspective in the industry, their creativity, knowhow, skills, and the innovation as result of diversity. Here’s to more #WomenInDrones!

How India is helping women to reach their aspirations.

Very useful insights in this article regarding Airbus take on #AAM. We cannot agree more on the importance of infrastructure: “eVTOLs need to land somewhere!” In Vertiports Network we are bulding that “somewhere” 😉

Since 1987, March has been designated "Women’s History Month” by presidential proclamation and is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history, culture, and society.    Women have been involved in #aviation and have made significant contributions to the industry since the Wright Brothers’ first flight in 1903. But still, the industry remains predominately men. According to the Women in Aviation Advisory Board, women make up less than 20% of the workforce in most aviation occupations.   As for the #autonomous industry, The Federal Aviation Administration’s U.S. Civil Airmen Statistics report from January 2023 shows that women currently make up only 7.9% of all certified remote pilots (just under 25,000 total in the US). In the tech industry, especially in #software development, women are scarce as well. The percentage of women in tech companies and the software development industry is approximately 25%.    AlarisPro would like to recognize all women and their amazing contributions this month, especially those on our team! We are proud to say that AlarisPro is currently made up of 50% women! That’s not bad for a tech company in the aviation industry! Our women team members hold positions in leadership, sales, marketing, and software development!   We are excited about the future and look forward to seeing the number of women in our industry grow over the years! #womenshistorymonth #womeninaviation #womenintechnology

My first reaction when I came across this article was: "We need more women in positions of power". Does anyone in my network who has looked at the Dunning-Kruger effect (which is when a person's lack of knowledge causes them to overestimate their own competence), know if findings in other areas show similar results? If so, that is worrying (albeit not surprising). Having the self-awareness to know what we don't know is critical for leadership and quality decision-making. https://lnkd.in/enDYx7AC
