Research Opportunities
This air transportation system of the future will include low-altitude passenger transport, cargo delivery, and public service capabilities. 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.

NASA Aeronautics Projects Contributing to the AAM Mission
Advanced Capabilities for Emergency Response Operations Project
The project is enabling remotely piloted aircraft to identify, monitor and suppress wildfires 24 hours a day.
Air Mobility Pathfinders Project
The project will tackle one of the most important challenges in the AAM industry: researching how to safely integrate emerging electric air taxi technologies into cities and the National Airspace System.
Air Traffic Management-eXploration Project
The project will transform the air traffic management system to safely accommodate the growing demand of new air vehicles to enter the airspace to perform a variety of missions.
Convergent Aeronautics Solutions Project
The project invests in seemingly improbable ideas that might lead to solutions to the problems that plague aviation and impact safety, environmental and community impact, and the global growth in air traffic.
Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology Project
The project is working with its partners to develop critical technologies that enable revolutionary new air travel options, such as large cargo-carrying vehicles and passenger-carrying air taxis.
System-Wide Safety Project
NASA’s System-Wide Safety project is developing innovative data solutions to assure safe, rapid, and repeatable access to a transformed National Airspace System.
Transformational Tools and Technologies Project
The project develops state-of-the-art computational and experimental tools and technologies that are vital to the ability to advance the prediction of future aircraft performance in flight.
