Expanding AAM Range with Better Batteries Part Two – Inside AAM

Oct 11 2024 18 mins  
Batteries are being presented as the power source for many designs of advanced air mobility vehicles being developed, and improving the effectiveness of those batteries is key to increasing AAM range. Yet batteries have their own design complexities that only add more to the complexity of AAM vehicles. Navigating them quick enough to bring AAM to market will require digital transfo

Expanding AAM Range with Better Batteries Part One – Inside AAM

Sep 27 2024 18 mins  
Many companies in the advanced air mobility sector plan to power their aircraft with batteries. These future aircraft are estimated to have an operational range of 100 miles, enabling rapid transit through cities. Yet there is great potential for AAM to travel beyond and between cities, and to accomplish this as a viable mode of transportation, operational range will likely need to

Rethinking Infrastructure for AAM Part Three – Inside AAM

The key infrastructure behind advanced air mobility (AAM), vertiports, must not only efficiently recharge air taxis and similar vehicles that make use of them, but also provide passengers with quick, quality service and be environmentally friendly. There are many design factors to consider in achieving these goals, but digital transformation can help companies find solutions to the

Rethinking Infrastructure for AAM Part Two - Inside AAM

Aug 30 2024 20 mins  
A lot of work needs to be done to build the infrastructure that can support advanced air mobility fleets. Ensuring there are enough vertiports in a city, as well as guaranteeing their reliability and maintainability, will be key to making AAM a convenient and profitable mode of transportation. What are some ways the developers behind AAM can achieve this? In this episode, Todd Tut

Rethinking Infrastructure for AAM Part One – Inside AAM

Aug 16 2024 21 mins  
Advanced air mobility is a new classification of aircraft that offers new ways to transport cargo and passengers across short distances in forms such as air taxis. However, most air taxis are projected to be bigger than most cars and cannot just land on streets or lawns. AAM will require its own infrastructure to provide places to land, recharge, and take off from. These places wil

Insights on AAM Autonomy from Automotive Part Three – Inside AAM

Aug 02 2024 13 mins  
Making advanced air mobility (AAM) vehicles autonomous can transform short-ranged aerial transportation as we know it. Of course, implementing autonomous systems onto such aircraft introduces new challenges to design and operation, on top of the existing mechanical, electrical, thermal, and more considerations. Managing all these decisions will require new methodologies, namely dig

Insights on AAM Autonomy from Automotive Part Two – Inside AAM

Jul 19 2024 16 mins  
Autonomous advanced air mobility (AAM) vehicles are a goal for multiple companies working in the sector. Some are planning to phase it in after using human pilots for some time, while others are jumping straight in to make AAM vehicles uncrewed from launch. In any case, making aircraft like AAM capable of autonomous flight raises new concerns regarding safety and regulations, espec

Innovating Global Air Freight: Natilus and Immersive Engineering

Jul 16 2024 23 mins  
One of the most exciting aspects of advanced air mobility (AAM) is the potential for innovation in air freight, particularly with autonomous, highly efficient aircraft. Innovating in this field comes with technological, regulatory and cultural challenges. However, companies like Natilus are making significant strides, offering valuable insights for the industry and paving the way f
