Interview"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With over 11 years of industry experience, B.R. is an electrical and systems engineering expert. Hailing from Brazil, he holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering and two Master\u2019s: Embedded Systems and Systems Engineering. His journey in the aerospace industry began with Embraer, where he worked on the successful E-JETS E2 program. Seeking new challenges, he joined Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation and transitioned to advanced air mobility (AAM) with Volocopter before joining SkyDrive in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Role at SkyDrive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He leads the Power Distribution System Group, ensuring the electrical system\u2019s efficiency and performance. His team designs high and low-voltage electrical architectures and their components to supply adequate electrical power to aircraft equipment such as electric motors, flight control computers, and multifunctional displays. Additionally, his Group designs HV Battery charging solutions and also creates test procedures conducted in the aircraft or integrated labs to confirm that their electrical system design meets the intended requirements. His goal is to keep the aircraft competitive and production-ready, always striving for compliance with aerospace standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressions of SkyDrive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before joining SkyDrive, he expected the typical challenges of a mid-scale company attempting to become a full-fledged aerospace company. Although the challenges are still there, he was pleasantly surprised by the maturity of the company\u2019s processes and tools allied to how fast the company increases its quality to achieve the goal of first aircraft certification. The quality of the production environment, with its clean and professional assembly, impressed him. SkyDrive\u2019s partnership with Suzuki and the progress made toward demonstration flights of its aircraft at Osaka Expo 2025 and its later certification showcases the company\u2019s determination to catch up and potentially overcome other eVTOL players that are currently claimed at leading positions by market surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience in Japan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working in the Japanese aerospace industry has been a highlight for him. He appreciates the positive exchanges and high-quality discussions with his colleagues. The team\u2019s commitment to delivering the best is evident, and he feels a strong sense of passion and drive within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals and Future Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

His passion for electric aircraft fuels his dedication to seeing SkyDrive succeed. He aims to contribute to the company\u2019s growth and the realization of sustainable air travel. The team is focused on meeting aerospace standards and is eager to learn from other industries, such as automotive while understanding the applicability of these technologies to aerospace\u2019s electrical architectures and components due to the increased safety levels. He is also looking forward to further SkyDrive\u2019s collaboration with relevant aerospace power distribution suppliers interested in demonstrating their technology within what he believes will be successful platforms in the eVTOL market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He enjoys spending time with his wife and children outside of work, exploring Japan\u2019s beautiful beaches, and visiting family-friendly locations. He finds Japan a welcoming country for families, with its customer-oriented culture and respect for individuals. The expression \u201cYoroshiku Onegaishimasu\u201d meaning \u201cYou can count on me and I hope I can count on you\u201d encapsulates the trust and mutual support he experiences in his daily life with the Japanese society.<\/p>\n\n\n
