From Technological Innovation to Systemic Execution Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is entering a pivotal phase in its development. After more than a decade of strong growth driven by technological innovation, platform maturation, and the proliferation of demonstrators, the central challenge is no longer technical feasibility, but the collective capacity to transition to real-world operations. AAM is no longer a futuristic projection centered solely on passenger transport. It now represents a set of multi-purpose aerial capabilities designed primarily to address critical operational challenges. Emergency response, wildfire suppression, public safety support, infrastructure inspection and maintenance, environmental monitoring, specialized logistics, and operations in remote or hard-to-access areas constitute the first credible and relevant use cases. These applications, often dual-use, spanning civil and institutional missions, place AAM at the heart of operations where inter-agency coordination is non-negotiable. AAM must therefore be defined as a fully-fledged aeronautical system, designed for…
