Advanced Air Mobility’s Innovation Paradox: Why Use Old Business Models

Everyone in Advanced Air Mobility knows the truth: we’re developing revolutionary electric aircraft using century-old business models. People leave traditional aviation frustrated, join AAM startups promising change, then fall right back into the same patterns. The technology works—electric aircraft are proven 2-3x more efficient than conventional aircraft. So why do we keep choosing outdated frameworks? Explore what really holds AAM back and what needs to change.

FAA’s Part 108 BVLOS Rule: Low‑Altitude Aviation Needs More

The FAA’s Part 108 BVLOS proposal would finally move drones beyond the slow, waiver‑based system of Part 107, creating a framework for routine flights at scale. But aviation groups like NBAA, VAI, and EAA argue that unclear right‑of‑way rules, heavy paperwork, and weak detect‑and‑avoid requirements could shift risk onto helicopters, GA, and future AAM operations that already rely on the same low‑altitude airspace.
