SUMMARY
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is defined by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as “an air transportation system that moves people and cargo between places previously not served or underserved by aviation - local, regional, intraregional, urban - using revolutionary new aircraft that are only just now becoming possible.” While AAM supports the transportation of people and goods between many geographic areas, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) focuses specifically on urban and suburban environments. UAM is envisioned as a “safe and efficient aviation transportation system that will use highly automated aircraft that will operate and transport passengers or cargo at lower altitudes within urban and suburban areas.”
