Advanced Air Mobility or AAM is NASA's vision 
for a new air transportation system that  

3
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,980
will improve the mobility of people and 
goods and provide publicly beneficial  

4
00:00:25,980 --> 00:00:30,360
services one area that NASA team 
is researching is cargo delivery  

5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,080
NASA is heavily involved in the research to enable 
these cargo transportation operations because we  

6
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,360
have research experience across several different 
domains that need to be combined in order to make  

7
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:49,200
these operations happen those domains include 
air traffic management autonomy aircraft design  

8
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,240
and safety assurance some of the research that 
NASA is doing to help enable cargo delivery  

9
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,820
includes looking at how these new vehicles will 
integrate into the airport environment and into  

10
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:05,340
our airspace as a whole as we're introducing these 
new operations cargo delivery doesn't have a lot  

11
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:10,440
of the challenges at transporting humans have and 
makes it a great way to start building experience  

12
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,480
and trust in these new aviation operations as we 
look across industry we see them making a lot of  

13
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:21,840
strides toward doing package delivery using drones 
we're looking toward the future toward how we can  

14
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:29,280
take these concepts and scale them to larger 
vehicles to higher density operations and to  

15
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,980
higher levels of autonomy AAM cargo transportation 
will provide several different advantages  

16
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:39,720
such as improving both the speed and 
efficiency of transportation of cargo  

17
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,520
which will lower the cost to consumers and 
providing publicly beneficial services such  

18
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,340
as emergency medical transportation and the 
transportation of supplies to disaster areas
