The Ways We Move
The Ways We Move podcast, What is Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)?
Episode Summary: In this episode of The Ways We Move, we explore the transformative concept of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). From its roots as a 1950s dream of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) to its evolution in 2017 with NASA’s groundbreaking vision, AAM is reshaping how we think about transportation in the skies.
We dive into:
- The early days of UAM and why helicopters couldn’t fulfill the vision.
- The rise of eVTOLs, eSTOLs, eCTOLs, and drones.
- How NASA and Uber Elevate laid the groundwork for AAM as we know it today.
- The groundbreaking aircraft designs pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
- The critical role of infrastructure: from vertiports and multiports to advanced energy systems.
- The integration of uncrewed and crewed traffic management in public airspace.
- The game-changing benefits of AAM, including sustainability, quiet operations, and improved connectivity.
We also discuss how AAM isn’t just about futuristic aircraft—it’s about solving real-world transportation challenges and building a more sustainable, efficient, and accessible future.
Key Takeaways:
- AAM is the convergence of aviation and multimodal mobility.
- The technology, infrastructure, and collaborations driving AAM are advancing at an unprecedented pace.
- This is more than transportation—it’s a new paradigm for how we live, work, and move.
