Regional Air Mobility networks aim to connect smaller cities and communities using aircraft capable of operating from compact airfields. Introduction Modern transportation systems are designed around two dominant layers: long-haul aviation and ground transportation networks such as highways and railways. Yet millions of trips fall between these two systems, distances too long for efficient road travel but too short to justify large commercial airline operations. This gap has

Introduction: When Geography Demands a New Kind of Aviation Coastlines are among the most active and demanding environments for transportation. They support global trade routes, ports, tourism, island communities, emergency services, and time-critical logistics. Yet, despite this constant activity, air connectivity in coastal and near-shore regions remains limited . Traditional aviation relies on long runways, centralized airports, and heavy infrastructure —conditions that co

From distributed electric propulsion to hybrid-electric powertrains, STOL aircraft bring a proven aerodynamic advantage to AAM. This article explores why they are positioned for faster certification and earlier commercial success.
