Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vs. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vs. Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) are related but distinct concepts in the evolving landscape of aerial transportation. While both aim to revolutionize how we move people and goods, they differ significantly in their scope and mission. Here's a detailed look at the differences between them:

AutoFlight Prosperity eVTOL Gains Type Certificate Approval from CAAC for Urban Air Mobility

AutoFlight Prosperity eVTOL Gains Type Certificate Approval from CAAC for Urban Air Mobility

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has officially approved AutoFlight's application for a Type Certificate (TC) for its Prosperity eVTOL aircraft, a 5-seater designed for vertical take-offs and landings. This approval follows closely on the heels of the TC granted to AutoFlight's CarryAll cargo eVTOL, marking another significant milestone as it was the first ton-level eVTOL aircraft to receive such certification globally.

April.04.2024 | ELECTRON Aerospace secures new orders for battery-powered electric aircraft

ELECTRON Aerospace, an electric aircraft developer based in the Netherlands, has signed up two new customers for its future battery-powered aircraft. 

Air2E and Hopscotch Air, two air taxi operators based, respectively, in Berlin, Germany, and Farmingdale, New York, have placed orders for the Electron 5 aircraft. The aircraft is still under development and not expected to enter service until nearer 2028. With these two deals, the exact breakdown of which hasn’t yet been made public, ELECTRON Aerospace has already accumulated orders worth almost €200 million.   This includes previous orders placed by Australian electric aircraft operator FlyOnE and Mint Air, a Korean startup.

The Honda eVTOL and Honda's Urban Mobility Ecosystem. 

In a world increasingly driven by the quest for sustainable and efficient urban transport solutions, Honda is setting the pace with its latest venture into the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) market. With a legacy that spans both the highways and the skies, Honda is harnessing its storied history of innovation to craft an eVTOL aircraft that promises to redefine the urban air mobility landscape.

The aviation industry is witnessing a significant shift with the rapid rise of eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, which is paving the way for a new era of urban air mobility. This emerging aircraft class includes eVTOLs (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing), eSTOLs (Electric Short Take-off and Landing), and eCTOLs (Electric Conventional Take-off and Landing), each with unique benefits and applications when compared to traditional helicopters.
