FutureFlight On The Radar
Revised Aerial Urban Mobility Rankings Will Spark More Debate
Abbot Aerospace has updated the criteria it uses to evaluate the likely success of new aircraft in the urban air mobility sector.

Some observers would liken the nascent advanced air mobility sector to a gold rush or even a horse race. There was a time before the Covid-19 pandemic threw a spanner into the global economy that it seemed more like a stampede.

Some, including FutureFlight, would argue that the field of contenders in the contest to bring new types of aircraft to market has never really been as large as has been suggested by the more hyperbolic assessments. In any case, it certainly appears to be thinning now, with the more credible new programs apparently pulling ahead of the pack as the finite pool of funding and the scale of the technical and regulatory obstacles become fully apparent.
