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.
EHang’s VT35 is more than a new airframe; it is the long‑range link that turns today’s EH216‑S urban air taxi routes into a wider, intercity network. With a 200 km design range, compatibility with existing vertiports, and strong backing from Hefei’s low‑altitude economy strategy, the VT35 shows how China plans to scale autonomous passenger eVTOLs from sightseeing flights to everyday regional transport.
Vertical Aerospace reveals Valo, its production eVTOL succeeding VX4. 100-mile range, premium 4-6 seat cabin, largest luggage class. UK air taxi network and Riviera routes announced.
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 competitive landscape of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) just saw a massive shift. Archer Aviation acquired the core patent portfolio of the now-insolvent Lilium, a strategic move that secures critical ducted fan technology and strengthens the U.S. position in the global eVTOL market.
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!
Joby Aviation’s acquisition of Blade Air Mobility’s passenger business marks a major step in expanding urban air mobility infrastructure. This strategic move brings Joby closer to operational passenger hubs, accelerating the rollout of electric air taxis in key global markets.
