In the second part of our conversation with Aerobility CEO Mike Miller-Smith, we hear how Mike “recalibrated” to use his chair, and how it actually enabled him to get his previous lifestyle back. Along the way, we learn how a piece of lunar technology keeps Mike on the move, and how first-hand experience of the use of a hoist to keep flying reinforced the importance of a flying charity for “opening the door” to show what disabled people might achieve. From the early days with the ‘British Disabled Flying Club’ and their first aircraft, through to opening the London 2012 Paralympics with a pyrotechnic flyover, Mike has led the way in increasing the spectrum of output of disabled flying in the UK; he will also be actively involved in the future of disabled aviation, and we hear what his role is in ensuring “accessibility is built into the future of flight”.
