The FAA has released a proposed rule that would require most U.S. aircraft to upgrade their radio altimeters to withstand 5G interference. This change will affect not only airlines and business jets, but also future advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft that rely on precise low‑altitude height data for safe urban operations.
Electra.aero has applied for FAA Part 23 certification for its EL9 hybrid-electric aircraft, marking a major step toward commercial service. Simultaneously, the company launched “Electra Defense” to adapt its ultra-short takeoff and landing technology for military logistics, offering runway-independent operations for the U.S. Armed Forces.
n this episode of The Ways We Move podcast, host Nicolas Zart explores an unexpected hero in the sustainable mobility revolution: cork. This 5,000-year-old material, traditionally associated with wine bottles and bulletin boards, is quietly reshaping how we design everything from electric vehicles to spacecraft and could soon play a crucial role in advanced air mobility.

The AAM Master Class Rome 2025 launches this September at Rome Fiumicino Airport, offering a comprehensive training experience on electric vertical takeoff and landing, infrastructure, energy systems, and regulations. Designed for airport officials and aviation professionals, this 2.5-day master class provides practical insights, networking opportunities, and CPD certification.
In part two of his conversation on reinventing airports, Clint Harper explores how aviation infrastructure can transform into multi-modal mobility hubs. By linking air taxis with rail, buses, and micromobility, airports can serve as true connectors in sustainable transport networks.
In this episode of The Ways We Move podcast, Clint Harper, a military airport manager and urban planner, explores how airports can embrace advanced air mobility and evolve into multi-modal hubs. Learn how resilient infrastructure, community engagement, and smart economics can help airports lead the way in supporting electric aviation and regional connectivity.
On The Ways We Move podcast, guest Rex Alexander talks about how advanced air mobility (AAM) infrastructure is changing how we see and conceptualize urban air mobility (UAM) and regional air travel, challenges, regulatory updates. Most importantly, a strong, safe, and robust infrastructure will allow for a cleaner and more efficient future of air travel. Find out more about what the future of air travel looks like from Mr. Infrastructure himself!
The FAA’s MOSAIC modernizes the path for light sport and electric aircraft by removing outdated weight and speed limits and expanding eligible designs. This article explains how the new rule benefits advanced air mobility, supports pilot training, and prepares the industry for a new era of clean, affordable aviation.
From relaxed U.S. drone regulations to hydrogen-powered aircraft, the aviation industry is undergoing seismic shifts. Here’s what AAM leaders need to know
