What does AAM require to be successful in Canada?

April 7, 2021

When I was a kid watching star wars, so many vehicles seemed to be flying. While we’re not quite there yet, we’re closer than you might think! Flying vehicles always seem to be part of futuristic movies. Today, there are some hurdles to overcome, but they’re closer than you might think to becoming a reality. Advanced Air Mobility is globally recognized as the next frontier of aviation, encompassing the aerial movement of people, goods and services within urban and regional settings using zero emissions . CAAM works as the catalyst between governments, researchers and industry to get this new mode […]

The 3 pillars of Sustainability in Canadian Advanced Air Mobility (The triple bottom line)

November 16, 2020

Build things to help all people, take care of the environment, all while creating jobs to improve the economy. It sounds simple, but is it really possible or even sustainable? Whenever I hear statements like these, I never knew just how those things could be measured or implemented well enough and assumed people just said things like this to make everybody feel good. After learning more about the work we’ve been up to over the past year at CAAM, I’ve learned there’s actually a framework for ensuring environmental and social needs are held in equal value to the economy when […]

Canada is ready for Advanced Air Mobility!

October 20, 2020

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a new form of aviation utilizing airspace above congested cities to better serve the public, businesses, disadvantaged communities, and emergency responders. Exciting new technologies—from lithium ion batteries to light‐weight electric motors, advanced composites, aircraft automation processes, and safety systems—enable safe, green, affordable flight, greatly expanding the mobility of people and goods. The white paper explains what AAM is, the challenges and benefits of it, the three-tiered plan of taking off, and the four supply chains to make it a reality. Social benefits will be numerous. We see this new technology providing more convenient transportation and […]
