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.

BETA Technologies, an electric aircraft developer, has achieved a significant milestone in the development of its ALIA eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft. The company has successfully transitioned the aircraft from vertical takeoff to forward propulsion in the air, a key step towards certification and commercial operations.

China is making strides in the development of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) certifying AutoFlight’s unmanned CaryAll aircraft. This marks a significant step in the advancement of flying car technology in China.
