NASA Researching AAM, Starting Several eVTOL Air Taxi Projects

NASA is researching advanced air mobility (AAM) vehicles and vertiports as potential use cases for future airspace travel and exploration. NASA’s AAM division is researching where vertiports or vertiplexes—multiple vertiports near each other—will work into existing infrastructure such as airports and heliports. NASA is also investigating new landing areas that can be created from repurposed areas, purpose built sites or integrated into existing buildings such as train or bus stations. Many of these AAM aircraft...
