Let’s Make Some Room for AAM Integration - 11:05 – 12:05

The diverse operations covered under AAM, from the simplest and smallest UAS, to the more complex eVTOL urban operations, have one thing in common: they are often perceived as having the potential to disrupt the tried-and-true tenets of conventional aviation. Throughout its history, aviation has adapted and safely integrated new entrants into its system and the same should apply with AAM. The new and promising technologies behind the AAM “evolution” offer new solutions for aviation stakeholders and new services for many outside aviation. This session will explore how regulators and other stakeholders can work together to realize the opportunities for safe and efficient integration of new and conventional aviation.
