The UK’s ADS Group—a trade organization for the aerospace, defense, security, and space industry—this week made its case for the country to achieve leadership in the advanced air mobility (AAM) sector. It published "Developing the eVTOL Industry in the UK," a document it billed as a call to action for Britain’s national and local governments, as well as “the entire aerospace ecosystem.” The paper urges that all these entities recalibrate their efforts on the priorities it says are needed to unlock the potential for a market it estimates could be worth $510 billion by 2040.
The report calls on the government to “take decisive, timely action to ensure the UK is globally competitive,” and it sets out five recommendations for groundwork that ADS says must be in place by 2025. These include improved funding and resources for the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), clearer regulatory and policy requirements, immediate prioritization of infrastructure, government backing for efforts to win public support for eVTOL flights, and the safe, shared integration of the new aircraft into the country’s airspace.
