Future Flight Café: Transforming flight planning for the future aviation systems of systems
Join us to hear about project Fly2Plan. A consortium of thirteen partners from across multiple sectors and disciplines is working to create a new model aviation data system-of-systems to enable aviation data exchange and allow new entrants in urban air mobility and autonomous operations to participate through plug-and-play.
Covering a range of vehicle types, Fly2Plan will enable users to optimise communications, fuel burn and traffic management to create a truly integrated and collaborative aviation. The team is keen to engage with airports, airlines, tech vendors, AAM manufacturers, UTM platform providers, flight planning software providers.

Webinar recording is now available
Phase 3 of the Future Flight Challenge competition is now open providing organisations the opportunity to bid for funding. To help you prepare and form new partnerships, KTN’s Future Flight Café series of short, online webinars can help. Each spotlight one previously funded project followed by a discussion and question session.
Who should watch?
The Future Flight Challenge needs diverse technologies, services and infrastructure to deliver an advanced aviation system. These webinars are ideal for those with expertise in sectors including data, digital, design, business models, automation, alternative fuels, air traffic management or social science. They’re also a must-watch for Local Authorities, end-users (e.g. NHS, Network Rail, asset owners) and partners (e.g. airports, infrastructure and asset owners), all key enablers to the success of the programme.
Why watch?
The Future Flight Café online series provides a forum to discuss ideas and create new opportunities. If you are working on a Future Flight Challenge project, want to get involved or even start your own project, take a look at the series.
By the end of each webinar you will have learnt more about the competition, one of the ongoing Future Flight Challenge projects and could have found a new connection to start your own Future Flight journey.
