–Infrastructure providers deliver the physical
and digital backbone (e.g. vertiports, energy
supply, connectivity) required for safe and
efficient operations. Their priorities include
creating modular infrastructure, elevating
existing facilities, establishing standards and
architectural interoperability and introducing
public–private concessions for AAM operations.
–Suppliers develop critical systems such as
propulsion, batteries, sensors and avionics,
enabling both safety and efficiency. Their priorities
involve designing adaptable vehicle components,
developing the right-sized production capacity,
building a technologically competent workforce,
creating component standards and ensuring
secure, strategic sourcing.
–OEMs develop certified AAM vehicles, often
coordinating closely with both regulators
and suppliers. Their priorities are focused on
guaranteeing onboard and ground safety,
establishing universally applicable vehicle
designs, getting certified vehicles and reaching
product-market fit. –Operators bring AAM services to life by
designing, launching and scaling real-world
use cases – connecting technology with users
and integrating AAM into mobility networks.
Their priorities include designating air corridors,
developing robust security and safety controls,
enabling digital operations, ensuring integration
with other modes of transport and achieving
circular economy outcomes.
These key priorities are not exclusive to any one
stakeholder group but are deeply interconnected
across the whole value chain. Figure 3 highlights
the main interconnections of these priorities with
other stakeholders. Indeed, while each stakeholder
group brings distinct priorities and responsibilities,
only through joint enabling actions can the industry
address the priorities that will shape AAM’s future.
These enabling actions are the glue that aligns
efforts, reduces friction and accelerates outcomes.
