One of the greatest things about EAA is its willingness to open its arms wide to new technologies, new ideas, new directions and new faces. The urban mobility movement, or whatever they’re calling it these days, is a perfect case. It isn’t part of what EAA has historically done because it’s a brand-new segment. This is hardly new ground for EAA. It has embraced new technologies for decades. From composite construction, which made many old timers clutch their beads in horror, to ultralights, “Not real airplanes,” they cried! Diesels and jets and electrics, jet packs and canards and! well, you get the idea. OSH is all about embracing the entire aviation universe. Yay!
