A new generation of greener aviation has leapt forward following the UK’s first major air traffic control simulations for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), demonstrating how eVTOL - electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft – or flying taxis - could one day be safely integrated with conventional air traffic.
The simulations were the latest milestone for the Advanced Mobility Ecosystem Consortium, a group of leading aviation, technology and transport organisations demonstrating AAM's commercial and operational viability. The consortium is a Future Flight Challenge programme jointly funded by UK Research and Innovation. It includes Vertical Aerospace, Virgin Atlantic, AtkinsRéalis, Skyports, NATS, Connected Places Catapult, Cranfield University and WMG - University of Warwick.
