AAM describes the future of aviation
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is the evolution of air transportation enabled by an ecosystem of new propulsion systems, new aircraft architecture and new operating missions - allowing people, goods, and services to move within urban and regional areas safely.
Energy
Aviation fuels today consume significant amounts of carbon. AAM aircraft are being powered with electricity or hydrogen, lowering the carbon footprint of taking your next flight.
Connectivity
Flights today have a pilot on board the aircraft to ensure everyone is safe, although much of the flight control is done by a computer. With lots of testing, pilots can ensure the same level of safety from the ground as they can today in the aircraft.
Infrastructure
Airports today are key places for international travel, but require lots of space to land and shorter trips are expensive. AAM vehicles use new technologies that make it easier to take off and land in smaller spaces, at a lower cost. These changes are unlocking new ways for moving people and cargo between points, and airports are adapting already.
Communications
Controlling many aircraft in the sky safely is incredibly complex. Our communications networks are improving in speed, consistency, and security every day, allowing air traffic controllers to consider how safety can be maintained as more aircraft take to the skies.
Manufacturing
Building aircraft takes a lot of time, people, and resources to ensure safety in all conditions. New designs and processes for building vehicles of all types are allowing aircraft to be built with the same safety standards faster, with new materials and designs, at lower costs.
Our vision
We’re working towards an industy that is.…
Safe
Above all else, for all people involved.
Economic
Travel more easily at a fraction of the cost
Environmental
Using quieter, zero emission aircraft
Equitable
Connecting people underserved by transportation
Inclusive
Unlock new routes between communities
AAM Operations
Example
InDro Robotics Wayfinder
The Wayfinder is designed by InDro Robotics and is built for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) cargo shipping. Throughout 2020, it was transporting medical supplies to Penelakut Island, working closely with the First Nations Health Authority to provide COVID test kits for remote communities.
Type
Drone / Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS)
