By Chief Executive Officer Bill Tolpegin
Excerpt from the article, beginning on page 37, published in the Summer 2023 Issue of Women and Drones magazine, Vertical Space.
It's certainly no secret that the commercial viability of the Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) market hinges on the safety and economic advantages made possible by Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).
As a start-up dedicated to that future, AURA knows the industry needs every advantage it can get. That's one reason we share Women and Drones' goals to drive excellence in the UAS and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) sectors, and we applaud the organization's efforts to inspire and support the women who continue to have such a profound impact on the additional societal benefits accompanying the industry.
AURA was co-founded by a woman, and women serve in senior leadership positions in every department, contributing to the company's progress toward making safe BVLOS operations by remotely piloted aircraft a reality. We've purposely assembled diverse talent critical to our objectives in ensuring that all of America benefits from the revolutionary transformation of our nation's entire transportation system. To us, AURA's diversity has been fundamental to our success as a company.
