The Big 5 Air Mobility Definitions

#advancedairmobility - "emerging aviation markets to safely develop an air transportation system that moves people and cargo between places previously not served or underserved by aviation – local, regional, intraregional, urban – using revolutionary new aircraft that are only just now becoming possible. AAM includes NASA’s work on Urban Air Mobility, and will provide substantial benefit to U.S. industry and the public." - NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration (2020)

Also called Advanced Aerial Mobility: "how electric propulsion and automation enable new forms of flight. Advanced aerial mobility is about accessing vertical space in a way that we could not do before and ultimately, it’s about vastly increasing the occasions and use cases across the economy upon which we employ flight to move more efficiently and drive productivity" - Peter Shannon (2019)

#airmobility -?"Joint doctrine defines air mobility as “the rapid movement of personnel, materiel, and forces to and from, or within, a theater by air” (Joint Publication [JP] 3-17, Air Mobility Operations). The Department of Defense (DOD) transportation mission involves many transportation communities, assets, services, and systems owned by, contracted for, or controlled by the DOD. US Transportation Command serves as the manager of the transportation community and is supported by the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command, the Army’s Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, and the Navy’s Military Sealift Command.

#distributedaviation - "#ElectricPropulsion?systems will lead to a future of?#DistributedAviation?where the passenger of the future will be able to fly from an airport that is closer to their origin/destination because of the lower capital, operating and maintenance cost of?#ElectricAircraft. In this scenario a portion of domestic traffic distributes away from the existing hub and spoke system to smaller airfields because of the rise of electric Low Cost Carriers?#eLCCs. When?#eVTOL?become available they will fill the last mile gap. Everyone is a winner in this scenario, reduced aviation carbon emissions, lowered ground transportation emissions, small airports gain much needed traffic and larger airports get back precious runway slots to deploy on more economically beneficial international routes." -?Darrell Swanson

#futureflight - "Future Flight will deliver a new revolution in aviation by bringing together technologies in electrification, digital and autonomy to create new modes of air travel and capability; enabling flying taxis, drones delivering goods and services, and small, all-electric aircraft – innovations that could address the mobility and congestion problems faced by increasingly urban, ageing populations, and reduce the carbon footprint of the global aviation system." -?Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN)

urbanairmobility - "Urban air mobility is a safe and efficient system for air passenger and cargo transportation within an urban area, inclusive of small package delivery and other urban Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) services, which supports a mix of onboard/ground-piloted and increasingly autonomous operations" -?NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
