Advanced Air Mobility or AAM is NASA's Vision to map out a safe accessible and affordable
new air transportation system one area the NASA team is researching is accessibility
AAM will connect urban dwellers and rural residents by adding an accessible new way
to travel by air passengers might board an aircraft to travel from their home to the
airport or from the airport to home like we do today with the ride share services passengers may
also travel from rural areas into the city to access medical care or to purchase goods
NASA is researching how these new aircraft will be integrated into the existing airspace where
aircraft will land and take off and how aircraft will be built powered and maintained this and
other research will help address accessibility issues when these aircraft prepare for flight
NASA brings years of aeronautics expertise to the table and our researchers can help predict
what this new system may look like in 10 or 20 years using computer modeling tools the hope is
for AAM to be affordable for the general public to allow for more people to easily access this
new on-demand service one aspect of AAM that we're really excited about is the opportunity
to do public good with AAM whether it's disaster relief or supporting firefighters who are fighting
wildfires there are so many possibilities where AAM could improve everyone's lives it's going
to be really interesting to see how AAM develops because there are so many possibilities
