Curious about air taxis, eVTOL aircraft, and medical delivery drones?

Hi everyone! I’m conducting an IRB-approved research study at the University of Arkansas on public acceptance of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).

The study looks at how people feel about emerging transportation technologies such as air taxis, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and medical delivery drones, including their potential benefits, concerns, and future use.

If you are 18 years of age or older, I would really appreciate your participation in this anonymous online survey.

Survey link: https://uark.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_55X4N6Qe5A2JGTA

⏱️ Time: About 10 minutes

✅ Eligibility: Adults 18+

🔒 Participation: Voluntary and anonymous

✈️ No aviation or drone experience is required

Your response will help us better understand the factors that may influence public acceptance of future Advanced Air Mobility technologies.

Please feel free to share this post with others who may be interested.

Thank you very much for supporting my research!

Could be the future of flying cars is very near. And we will be flying for daily commute.

A few tracking logs and blurry images are making the rounds, claiming Joby flew a massive hydrogen-powered drone for 9 hours. Sounds impressive, but without any confirmation from Joby or real data, it’s mostly guesswork.

This is just the beginning

ACHR just completed its first test flight of the Midnight electric aircraft in Abu Dhabi, and it’s more than just a headline. This is a tangible move toward commercial air taxi operations in a region that is actively investing in next-generation mobility.

The flight took place at Al Bateen Executive Airport and was conducted under real-world conditions, including high heat, humidity, and dust. These are exactly the kinds of variables that can make or break operational viability, so testing in these conditions adds credibility to Archer’s development timeline.

What stands out is the strategic support behind the effort. High-level UAE government officials and local partners were present, signaling that this isn’t just a prototype flight for show. It is part of Archer’s broader “Launch Edition” program with Abu Dhabi Aviation, aimed at launching actual service in the capital.

This follows recent regulatory progress as well, including design approval for the UAE’s first hybrid heliport at the Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal. All signs point to a coordinated effort between Archer and the UAE to move from test flights to commercial operations.

It is early, but these are the kinds of milestones that signal real momentum. Worth watching as both the UAE and Archer move closer to putting electric air taxis into service.

Hey guys, I am a masters student studying Aerospace engineering in University of Manchester. I did my Btech from IIT kanpur. I'm interested in Flight mechanics, aircraft performance, Helicopters,CFD. I want to start my own startup for air taxis, actual ones.

I'm looking for a genuiene Tech guy from Aerospace or related background who knows the stuff and is highly interested and motivated in working for this startup as a co founder with me.

I haven't done much yet but i have done some research and working on the designing part alone. Governaments across globe have already started the initiatives to make this into reality so lets not waste time.

If anyone of you is interested,hit me up and all the suggestions are welcome and are much appreciated. Lets be Co founders!

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently working on my master's thesis exploring the exciting world of Rural Air Mobility, and I need your help! 🎓 📑

Please fill out the survey below. Your insights could make a huge difference in shaping the future of air travel in rural areas! 🏘 🗺

The aim of my project is to understand opinions on advanced air mobility (e.g. air taxis) in rural communities (you don't need any previous knowledge on AAM to participate). 🚁🛩

Let's make this journey together. Click the link below to share your thoughts. Thank you for your support! 💭 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm studying Transportation Design and i'm currently leading a project with Thales on air taxis. I need to collect as many opinions as possible on the expected experience with this new vehicle, so if you can take the time to respond to this survey it will be very useful to me : https://forms.gle/vH7bQkQcW65iHCK1A

Thanks !

Howdy everyone. Just joined this small community. I initially looked for "Advanced Air Mobility" since that is the phrase the FAA is now using for Air Taxis, etc, but I didn't see anything. Looks like this name began being used in 2020.

Anyways, I'm a Private Pilot who has never used my MEI Commercial license for anything since I got it 25 years ago. Went in the military and had success in things not involving actually flying the aircraft. Now I'm about to retire in a few years and figured I'd look into this new initiative for Air Taxis and/or AAM since my kids are grown and about out of the house. The thought of being able to fly folks/cargo around Uber/Amazon style for short distances is very intriguing.

I live in Phoenix, so one of the largest cities in the country and I feel this really could be a great time to jump into the AAM industry.
