The Advanced Air Mobility Institute is collaborating with the Advanced Air Mobility CRC (AAM CRC) to revolutionize the aviation landscape in Australia.

With a mission to lead research, development, education, and training in emerging aviation technologies, the AAM CRC aims to drive innovation, safety, and sustainability across air vehicles, operating systems, and ground infrastructure.

The AAM CRC application demonstrated a robust collaboration, attracting industry interest and potentially positioning as Australia’s largest cooperative research center for aviation and aerospace.

The AAM CRC has set forth key objectives, foremost among them being the fostering of partnerships among diverse stakeholders to expedite the advancement of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Central to this mission is the procurement of the safest, most cost-efficient air vehicles for both transportation and emergency services. A steadfast commitment to sustainable solutions, coupled with efforts to mitigate environmental impact while preserving operational efficiency, underpins the project’s foundation.

The strategic integration of AAM industry leaders and researchers will be instrumental in realizing the ambitious 10-year vision. Notably, the successful submission of the Stage 1 application for the Round 25 CRC grant program in March 2024 marks a significant milestone. Anticipation surrounds the forthcoming results expected in June 2024, with preparations underway for the Stage 2 application. As Australia’s aviation future begins to take flight, the AAM CRC stands poised at the vanguard of this transformative journey.

Dr. Adriano Di Pietro, Interim CEO, AAM CRC, said; “The development of the AAM CRC is imperative to the advancement of Australia’s air transportation network. Considering Australia’s unique landscape, diverse requirements, increased urbanization, and the need for carbon emission reductions, innovation in aviation will have game-changing impacts on our country’s supply chain.”
