NASA’s Vision for Advanced Air Mobility

NASA is delivering data to guide the industry’s development of electric air taxis and drones and to assist the Federal Aviation Administration in safely integrating these vehicles into the national airspace. This will set the stage for a flourishing industry by 2030.

Keep an eye on this Drones and You page as we collect stories and other content here related to this new future.
