More eVTOL Developers Added to AAM Reality Index as SMG Adjusts Ratings
Consulting group SMG has promised periodic updates to its process for rating eVTOL aircraft developers as more information about progress, or the lack thereof, becomes available.
After a relatively slow start in the first half of January, the advanced air mobility (AAM) sector has resumed its wild ride in recent weeks, with eVTOL aircraft developers jostling for attention and fresh funding. To some observers, talk of billion-dollar mergers points to a trend that could see a small group of leading contenders pulling away from the unwieldy field of wannabes.
Arizona-based consulting firm SMG has taken the opportunity to update the AAM Reality Index (ARI) that it unveiled at the start of the year. The company committed to periodic updates as new information comes to light but seems determined to be selective in how many companies it chooses to rate.
