Varon Vehicles Corporation has responded to NASA’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Grand Challenge RFI. NASA and the FAA have announced their intention to build and lead a community for this nascent industry, and Varon Vehicles has responded to be considered as a NASA UAM industrial member.

The NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) has expressed its commitment to enable new, transformational commercial aviation markets and services with the potential to provide significant societal benefits and plans to build on experience and lessons learned to help advance the UAM industry. The NASA ARMD vision matches that of Varon Vehicles, to revolutionize urban mobility by enabling a safe, efficient, convenient, affordable, environmentally friendly, and accessible air transportation system of flying cars. NASA believes UAM is emerging as one of the most exciting frontiers in aviation history, probably to become the next aviation revolution since the invention of the jet engine. Varon Vehicles Corporation has expressed to NASA and the FAA its willingness to be an active member of this industrial community and its commitment to participate and support NASA’s UAM Grand Challenge.

Varon Vehicles Corporation is holding conversations with the Andorran Government and its local authorities to study the feasibility of establishing a Test Pilot Flying Cars Transportation System in this European Country.

The Andorran Government has reflected its interest to participate in Varon Vehicles’ research and development process by offering itself as a “city lab” for the company to evaluate the operation of its flying cars and transportation system design. The Andorran authorities are interested in the system becoming a reality in Andorra and elsewhere, as they understand the positive impacts of such an innovative transportation alternative. Activities that are being considered include test flights of Varon Vehicles’ flying car prototypes in Andorra, the design of virtual lanes over the city of Andorra la Vella and its surroundings for initial flying cars traffic simulations and studies of the urban implementation of the system to solve the mobility needs of the city and neighboring locations. Initial visits to Andorra and closeup conversations with the Andorran Aeronautical Authorities and other local authorities have already been held and plans are being drawn.

The architecture of the Varon Vehicles Flying Cars Transportation System gives high importance to the specific needs of the city where it is implemented. It has been recognized that these needs vary from city to city. Andorra is becoming a strong innovation hub, and it serves as a study case of a developed country for Varon Vehicles.
