The company is now helping EAA bring together dozens of the latest flight technology ideas at the world&#8217;s largest fly-in as the community of urban air mobility and personal flight evolves.<\/p>\n<p>Opener, the company that designs and builds the all-electric BlackFly personal aircraft, has been named the presenting sponsor of the Innovation Showcase at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaa.org\/airventure\">EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2020<\/a>. The 68th annual Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in convention is July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and annually draws 600,000 people and 10,000 aircraft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nrwfbAEe0Uw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=de-DE&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><em>Video Credit by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCUcT-noj00mPUIA5C6tvCyQ\">Vertical Flight Society<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Innovation Showcase at EAA AirVenture is focused on research and development in the aviation and aerospace industries. It welcomes cutting-edge companies that seek to bring their new products to the public and the aviation marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOpener has an unparalleled leadership position in new technology driving personal flight,\u201d said Dave Chaimson, EAA\u2019s vice president of business development and membership. \u201cThey have been a part of the Innovation Showcase at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for the past two years and have been a prime example of the innovative aviation technology we\u2019ve been introducing at AirVenture. Having them as the presenting sponsor of this area will bring even more companies to Oshkosh who are interested in highlighting the newest and best in aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Opener spent the last 10 years in stealth mode, designing, developing, and testing new innovative technologies, which have now evolved into an all-electric, vertical takeoff-and-landing vehicle, BlackFly. Opener made its public debut in July 2018, shortly before displaying BlackFly at Oshkosh that year. A BlackFly v2 is now on display in the EAA Aviation Museum in Oshkosh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEAA AirVenture has always been synonymous with what\u2019s new and game-changing in aviation,\u201d said Ben Diachun, Opener\u2019s president. \u201cSeeing how attendees at Oshkosh welcome and encourage new ideas in all areas of flight convinced us that we needed to help foster it even further by sponsoring EAA\u2019s Innovation Showcase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only 20 exhibitors are selected from all applicants to be included in the Innovation Showcase. Any aviation-related product or service that demonstrates unique, forward-looking technology is invited to apply for complimentary exhibit space in that area. In 2019, nearly 75 companies applied for this area at Oshkosh. Applications for 2020 are currently being accepted through April 1, 2020, through the EAA.org\/Innovation website.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About EAA AirVenture Oshkosh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is \u201cThe World\u2019s Greatest Aviation Celebration\u201d and EAA\u2019s yearly membership convention.
