AutoFlight has completed a public transition flight of its 5 ton class Matrix eVTOL in China. The 10 seat aircraft moves the industry beyond four to six seat designs and pushes Advanced Air Mobility toward higher payloads, cargo operations, and new route economics. We look at what this milestone means for regulators, infrastructure planners, and operators watching the large eVTOL space.
This week, ElectricAirMobility.news begins a full site migration to enhance performance and user experience. Expect brief disruptions until completion.
The EU’s Sustainable Transport Investment Plan directs nearly €3 billion toward SAF and e‑kerosene. Beyond fuels, it defines the energy and investment environment in which Europe’s Advanced Air Mobility ecosystem will grow.
As electric air mobility takes flight, the US Postal Service eyes electric airplanes for New York-Detroit mail routes. Leaders like BETA Technologies and Electra.aero drive hybrid-electric advances, slashing emissions and unlocking short takeoffs. This 750-word read covers the shift for aviation pros.
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.
In the latest episode of The Ways We Move podcast, I sit down with Skyway CEO Cliff Cruz to explore the exciting innovations shaping Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). From vertiport operations to seamless airspace management, Cliff shares insights on how Skyway is connecting air and ground transportation. Don’t miss this conversation about the future of mobility!
