Regional projects

We take four steps to navigate getting AAM off the ground in each region.

Committee Assembly

Regional leaders come together to identify, scope and support the feasibility study and pilot project.

Feasibility Study

A series of studies reviews AAM’s potential in the region across economic, social, and environmental factors.

Pilot Project

A pilot project with clear commercial potential is selected and performed in stages to ensure safety and learnings that can be scaled across many additional use cases.

Public Engagement

Future users, industry and government come together to ensure AAM safely benefits the communities they aim to serve.
