Dubai Airshow 2023: VoltAero Unveils Electric Aircraft Charger
At the Dubai Airshow 2023, French firm VoltAero unveiled a universal mobile charger for electric aeroplanes. The charger will solidify the company’s strategy of creating a supporting infrastructure for its Cassio family of hybrid-electric aircraft. And since it is mobile, replenishing an electrified aeroplane in remote places is where it will come in handy. Regarding charging speed, it can recharge the Cassio 330 aircraft in about 30 minutes. That variant of the Cassio family packs a 41.5kWh battery.
Alongside the mobile charger, VoltAero showcased the two internal combustion engines that will work with the electric powertrain to propel the aircraft – a four-cylinder motor and a six-cylinder mill, both sourced from Kawasaki. In the aircraft, these engines will use hydrogen as their fuel. A demonstrator is being readied for 2025.

A Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $51.7million becomes the most expensive Ferrari auctioned
RM Sotheby’s New York sales of Contemporary and Modern Art conducted in the third week of November 2023 saw the auction house put the hammer down at a whopping $51.7 million for a 1962 Ferrari 330 LM / 250 GTO, making it the most valuable Ferrari to be sold at an auction. What makes this Ferrari 250 GTO, with chassis no. 3765, so unique is its extensive racing history of being the only GTO Tipo 1962 raced by Scuderia Ferrari. Its glorious racing pedigree comprises a class win and a 2nd overall finish at the 1962 Nürburgring 1000 KM, participating in the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans and finishing runners up at the 1965 Sicilian Hillclimb Championship event. The heightened levels of restoration and maintenance equal its racing pedigree as it boasts a 2nd place finish in the GTO class at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and a Best of Show award at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. It was previously owned by a chairman of the Ferrari Club of America and after nearly four decades in private ownership, it now changes hands at a steep price. “Celebrating this sale during Sotheby’s marquee week highlights the unparalleled stature of this Ferrari as one of the world’s most desirable objects. The result, achieved through collaboration between Ferrari, RM Sotheby’s, and Sotheby’s, echoes our mutual pursuit of perfection—mirroring the very ethos Enzo Ferrari embodied when designing this car. Fetching $51.7 million, this transaction adds a new chapter to a vehicle with an unmatched legacy. Now, it ranks among the most expensive cars sold at auction, a true testament to its singular place in history.” – Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions

Eve And Kookiejar To Join Forces For Urban ATMS Ops In Dubai
The ATMS mentioned in the title has nothing to do with Automated Teller Machines. What it actually stands for is Air Traffic Management System. To develop one for Dubai’s urban areas, two companies have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) – Eve Air Mobility from the USA and Kookiejar from Sweden. A well-established ATMS is a must to support vertiport operations. Both firms have agreed on a phase-wise approach, in which networks of vertiports will be connected via Eve’s Urban ATM system to complement Dubai’s urban air mobility. The duo aims to commercialise the partnership in 2025-2026.
This is Eve’s first Urban ATM agreement in Dubai, and Kookiejar is its tenth Urban ATM and fifth vertiport customer. Backed by Embraer, a renowned name in the aviation industry, Eve engages Atech, Embraer’s Air Traffic Control technology and system integrator company. Kookiejar, on the other hand, is already working with stakeholders in Dubai to evaluate the possible routes for eVTOLs within existing VFR (Visual Flight Rules) corridors used by helicopters. The company is also in talks with its partners Vertiport Hub at Air Chateau and Dubai South. Of course, regulatory approvals are key before any of it is implemented. Moreover, proper support from various service providers, fleet operators, vertiport developers and airports will play a vital role.
