Fixed-base operators (FBO) are beginning to position their networks for electric aircraft, part of a bet that early advanced air mobility (AAM) operations will emerge from existing airport infrastructure.

A pilotless aircraft being developed by a Boeing subsidiary aims to change the AAM game.

Proponents of AAM envision a world in which large numbers of eVTOL air taxis and commercial drones operate in shared low-altitude urban airspace.

AAM must figure out how to safely integrate eVTOL traffic with an ATC system that is not designed for high-density, low-altitude operations.

Leading up to the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, the agency learned lessons from Chinese drone manufacturers that now dominate the global consumer market.

The U.S. public-private eVTOL aircraft Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) will be challenging but also provides a key opportunity for advancing electric aviation.

DOT and FAA have selected eight pilot projects across the country to test operations involving eVTOL and other AAM aircraft under the new public-private eIPP.

Safe separation of UAM aircraft in automated airspace is to be evaluated by uncrewed airspace management providers ANRA Technologies and SkyGrid.

Initiatives are underway to develop flight rules for advanced air mobility that capitalize on the unique operating capabilities of new aircraft configurations.

With its Gen 6 autonomous eVTOL now flying, Wisk Aero says the next phase of development will focus on demoing how its autonomy systems function within NAS.

The new year is set to be a critical one for the emerging advanced air mobility industry.

Wisk Aero has completed the first flight of its full-scale Gen 6 autonomous eVTOL air taxi.

A house aviation subcommittee meeting turned unexpectedly combative as Beta Technologies CEO Kyle Clark clashed with lawmakers over electric aircraft.

As U.S. eVTOL startups look ahead to the start of certification flight testing with the FAA, questions remain.

Boeing subsidiary Wisk Aero is gearing up for a first flight of its Gen 6 autonomous eVTOL air taxi “very, very soon,” the startup’s CEO said.

China’s Aerofugia has rolled out the first AE200-100 eVTOL air taxi off its production line in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

Wisk Aero has announced a partnership with the city of Fullerton, California, building on its efforts to create an air taxi network in the LA area.

SkyGrid has issued a white paper examining safety challenges associated with integrating Third-Party Service Providers into the National Airspace System.

A growing number of companies have partnered with a startup that has developed computational fluid dynamics solutions for aviation.

Leaders from Joby Aviation, Archer, BETA Technologies and Wisk joined a panel at the Paris Air Show to discuss Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) manufacturing strategy and how the U.S. market could maintain its position as a leader in the budding industry.

Wisk, an eVTOL manufacturer and operator, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Japan Airlines Engineering (JALEC) and the City of Kaga, Ishikawa, Japan to develop advanced air mobility operations in the country.

Wisk Aero has secured a series of strategic agreements aimed at preparing the way for autonomous air taxi services in Miami and Japan.

Autonomous air taxi startup Wisk has acquired SkyGrid, a third-party service provider for advanced air mobility aircraft, as a subsidiary.

Wisk has partnered with NASA to jointly research integration of autonomous aircraft and drones into the National Airspace System.

Wisk has appointed Sebastien Vigneron as its new CEO.
