Advanced Air Mobility

Advanced air mobility (AAM) operations (for example, autonomous air taxis and drone deliveries) are expected to significantly increase the demand for limited airspace resources. In our research, we tackle challenges — some unique to AAM, others not — posed by these emerging types of aircraft operations: previously unprecedented numbers of flights, on-demand services, and highly-competitive environments.
