Surf Air Mobility is venturing into software with a new company, Surf Air Technologies, powered by Palantir Technologies. This venture will develop and sell AI-driven software tools designed to revolutionize the advanced air mobility industry, targeting thousands of regional air operators in the US.
Supernal, the advanced air mobility subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, will unveil its S-A2 eVTOL concept and announce a strategic partnership with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for pilot training at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow. The company will also participate in an industry panel exploring the transformative potential of advanced air mobility.
Houston Airports and Wisk Aero have joined forces to bring autonomous air taxis to the Greater Houston area, with plans to build landing pads at three airports and explore flight paths, community engagement, and regulatory approval. This partnership signifies a significant step towards transforming urban mobility in Houston and establishing the city as a leader in advanced air mobility (AAM).
During the Future Aviation Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Eve Air Mobility and Saudia Technic have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to collaborate on Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in the region.
Terra Drone, Unifly, and Aloft have teamed up to develop a global air traffic control system for unmanned aircraft and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This system, known as a UTM, aims to manage the growing number of low-altitude aircraft operating at altitudes below 4,000 feet. The collaboration combines the expertise of three companies specializing in UTM technology, air traffic control, and advanced air mobility.
Terra Drone Corporation, Unifly NV, and Aloft Technologies Inc. are collaborating on a groundbreaking joint development project to create an advanced UAS Traffic Management (UTM) system specifically designed for Advanced Air Mobility (AAMs). This collaboration marks the first-ever joint UTM development for AAMs by multiple companies with proven expertise in UTM implementation and operation. Recognizing the rapid growth of the AAM industry, particularly with the increasing prominence of electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOLs), the three companies aim to enhance their existing UTM platforms to accommodate the surge in eVTOL and drone activities. The shared vision for the UTM platform is to enable safe and efficient flight operations for eVTOLs and drones, while addressing the evolving needs of the AAM industry. Through this initiative, they strive to create a global UTM infrastructure that will support the growth of the AAM industry, addressing broader challenges of urban mobility, sustainability, and air traffic safety.
