Global Collaboration at Paris Air Show for Advanced Air Mobility Innovation
Key Ideas
  • Regulators from the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are working together to advance advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft, including eVTOL air taxis and hydrogen-powered designs.
  • The goal is to align AAM standards across nations to streamline validation processes for new aircraft, fostering collaboration and promoting technological innovation.
  • The roadmap developed by the five regulators aims to provide clarity in the certification process for powered-lift and AAM designs, ensuring safety and harmonization of standards globally.
  • The executive order by President Trump to create an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program could further accelerate the progress in AAM development and certification.
At the Paris Air Show, regulators from the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have announced a collaborative effort to advance a new generation of advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. This includes electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis and hydrogen-powered designs. The multinational agreement aims to align each nation's AAM standards to facilitate the validation of novel aircraft designs, allowing for smoother introduction of these innovative technologies across borders. The roadmap for AAM type certification, developed by the five regulators, focuses on providing clarity in the certification process for powered-lift and other AAM designs, ensuring safety and harmonization of standards globally. The involvement of key aviation stakeholders, including CEOs of leading eVTOL manufacturers, emphasizes the significance of this collaborative effort in shaping the future of air transportation. President Trump's executive order to establish an eVTOL Integration Pilot Program could further boost the efforts to accelerate AAM development and certification, marking a significant step towards embracing cutting-edge aviation technologies.
