Advanced Air Mobility or AAM is NASA's vision for a new air transportation system that
will improve the mobility of people and goods and provide publicly beneficial
services one area that NASA team is researching is cargo delivery
NASA is heavily involved in the research to enable these cargo transportation operations because we
have research experience across several different domains that need to be combined in order to make
these operations happen those domains include air traffic management autonomy aircraft design
and safety assurance some of the research that NASA is doing to help enable cargo delivery
includes looking at how these new vehicles will integrate into the airport environment and into
our airspace as a whole as we're introducing these new operations cargo delivery doesn't have a lot
of the challenges at transporting humans have and makes it a great way to start building experience
and trust in these new aviation operations as we look across industry we see them making a lot of
strides toward doing package delivery using drones we're looking toward the future toward how we can
take these concepts and scale them to larger vehicles to higher density operations and to
higher levels of autonomy AAM cargo transportation will provide several different advantages
such as improving both the speed and efficiency of transportation of cargo
which will lower the cost to consumers and providing publicly beneficial services such
as emergency medical transportation and the transportation of supplies to disaster areas
