Cybersecurity is rapidly becoming one of the most critical challenges for advanced air mobility. In this episode, AJ Khan of Vehiqilla explains why a holistic, ecosystem-wide approach is vital to protect fleets, infrastructure, and passengers in a world where every connection is a potential risk.
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.
ATR a été sélectionné par European Clean Aviation pour créer différentes versions hybrides électriques propres de ses plateformes ATR 72 afin de répondre au projet de mobilité aérienne urbaine pour des vols régionaux propres.
ATR was selected by the European Clean Aviation to create various clean electric-hybrid version’s of its ATR 72 platforms to tackle urban air mobility project for regional clean flights.
Africa’s regional aviation needs fresh wings. Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco promises 30% lower costs than old turboprops, strong climbs from short runways, and easy pilot training with Garmin G5000 avionics. As fleets double by 2044, this 40-seat plane fills a key gap.
The eVTOL Show 2025 in Palo Alto, chaired by Nicolas Zart, redefined industry conferences with its single-day, high-impact format, live eVTOL displays, and in-depth technical sessions, making it the definitive gathering for AAM professionals.
The United States has released its first Advanced Air Mobility National Strategy, setting ambitious targets for initial operations by 2027 and fully autonomous flights by 2035. The comprehensive plan includes 40 recommendations across six critical pillars and establishes the U.S. as a global leader in next-generation aviation infrastructure.
As 2025 draws to a close, the Advanced Air Mobility industry showed resilience through turbulence. Despite aviation challenges and startup volatility, progress continued with educational initiatives like AAM Master Classes, media platforms expanding reach, and key players positioning for 2026. A year-end reflection on solutions, obstacles, and what’s ahead.
