The Australian Government's Assistant Minister for Regional Development, Anthony Chisolm, unveiled details of 12 projects receiving funding in Round 2 of the Emerging Aviation Technologies Partnership (EATP) program. Notable recipients include Bankstown's AMSL Aero for eVTOL and hydrogen fuel systems, AvSoft for BVLOS software, Jabiru Aircraft, and QUT. The program targets advancing technology to boost manufacturing, digital farming, and connectivity to national supply chains while benefiting regional and remote communities. Chisolm highlighted the importance of supporting innovative aviation technologies that can address community needs, such as providing health services and facilitating cargo delivery to remote areas. Projects range from developing electric aircraft chargers to creating UAVs for farm spraying and incendiary systems. With a focus on sustainability and cost-effectiveness, initiatives like converting aircraft to hydrogen-electric power and enhancing aerodynamic controls aim to make aviation technology more accessible. Chisolm emphasized the role of local innovation and manufacturing in driving regional development and future opportunities. The successful projects promise to bring positive impacts to Australia's regional, rural, and remote regions, aligning with the government's commitment to fostering a Future Made in Australia.
