SMG Lays Out Bold, but Caveated Predictions for Advanced Air Mobility in 2024
The consultancy sees progress on eVTOL aircraft type certification this year, but the frontrunners won't have everything their way.

SMG Consulting has been closely tracking and supporting advanced air mobility since the new sector’s earliest days when there were certainly more doubters than backers. Sergio Cecutta and his California-based team have never shied away from making bold predictions, and its recently published latest outlook is no exception.

SMG's five predictions for the next 12 months represent insightful observations about a year that has been expected to see the launch of commercial eVTOL operations. There are hints of optimism from SMG, but some prescient caveats, too.
