Joining the bid for the AAM CRC presents an opportunity for the Advanced Air Mobility Institute to contribute to Australia's vision for a sustainable, safe, and efficient air transportation ecosystem

The Edge Company's Bird Concentration Monitoring System (BCMS), designed to mitigate bird strikes and ensure air taxi safety during all phases of flight, is being trialled at UrbanV's test vertiport UV-0 in Fiumicino

The standby flight instrument, integrated into the Lilium Jet's cockpit, represents a key safety feature for the aircraft and will provide an extra layer of protection for crew and passengers

Midnight's battery packs were dropped from 50 feet at 100%, 30% and 0% state of charge at a National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) lab to simulate extreme impact scenarios

This is a long-term commitment between Urban-Air Port and LG to work together to develop and serve the market for the operation of safe, reliable, and efficient AAM systems globally using each company's technologies

EHang's EH216 unmanned eVTOL took off from the heliport in Reserva Conchal, flew over the golf course, the coastal area, the sea, and a large resort area until it landed at the same point on the heliport

Vector will be an agnostic software solution designed to safely address the unique air traffic and network management challenges of current and future AAM operations, focusing on fleet and vertiport operators, and future service providers

The Future of Flight action plan from the Department of Transport (DfT) details plans for the first piloted flying taxis by 2026 and regular services by 2028, and demos of autonomous flying taxis on board by 2030

The first riveting ceremony recently took place, marking the beginning of production and serving as a symbol of collaboration between SkyDrive and Suzuki

The program consists of a feasibility study for the deployment of urban air mobility (UAM) and a potential proof of concept of commercial operations (CONOPS) of a vertiport at an airport within the Aena flight network

The Airbus-LCI collaboration will focus on the development of partnership scenarios and business models in three core advanced air mobility (AAM) areas, strategy, commercialisation, and financing

This will be the first in a series of next-generation VTOL aircraft which will feature varying degrees of electrification and an advanced autonomy system for optionally piloted flight

Lilium has begun installation of a serial production line for propulsion units at its production facilities in Wessling, Germany, with prototype propulsion units due to start coming off the new line in Q2 2024, to be used for testing and the flight test campaign

The collaborative Research and Development (R&D) will enable significant industry advancement, building one of the first motors designed specifically for mid-sized eVTOL aircraft

Star Charge's fast-charging system will be fully compatible with the Lilium Jets and other eVTOLs, and will feature an extra-long liquid cooled charging cable for high-performance charging, suitable for varied landing infrastructure

The project is the third awarded to Vertical Aerospace by the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme and brings the total UK Government funding to £37 million

Telefónica Tech and EHang have joined forces to combine Telefónica's connectivity with EHang's technological capabilities in the urban air mobility (UAM) sector and deploy aerial mobility solutions with drones in Europe and Latin America

The initial fleet of piloted eVTOL aircraft will be used in "for credit" testing with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as Archer progresses toward its goal of commercialization in 2025

Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions (VI&E Solutions) and PowerUp America will collaborate to electrify the infrastructure at airports, vertiports, and other relevant electric mobility locations
