How to Get Advanced Air Mobility
into the Sky
I

magine the year is 2035. Your plane
has just landed at LAX, and you need
to get to your hotel in the South Bay.
Traffic on the 405 is at a standstill,
however, so you pull out your phone,
open an app and order an air taxi. You
walk over to the nearby vertiport, where
a multi-rotor aircraft has just finished
charging, waiting for you to board. You
climb in and the air taxi quietly lifts
itself in the air, without a human pilot,
and flies you over the Los Angeles cityscape
to your destination in just a few
minutes. As a result, you get to enjoy an
afternoon at the beach, instead of sitting
for hours in LA traffic.
This is how a future with advanced air
mobility (AAM) could look.
AAM is a new class of vertical takeoff
and landing (VTOL) aircraft larger than
most cars yet much smaller than traditional
commercial aircraft. It is optimal
for short-distance flights within cities
and suburbs. Several companies are planning
to launch fleets of such aircraft in
the next few years, opening a whole new
form of aerial transportation for passengers
and cargo.

While incredible progress is being
made by these companies, the success of
the AAM sector is not guaranteed. There
are still several key challenges companies
will need to address as they develop air
taxis. These challenges include autonomy,
range, infrastructure, and certification,
and digital transformation can
help ensure they are solved in time for
market. By examining and addressing
these four issues, AAM will have a significantly
better shot at becoming ubiquitous
by the year 2035.
