Roundtable Discussion Topics
AAM – Building the infrastructure
While aircraft is being worked on, how do we build the rest of the infrastructure it’s going to take, the vertiports, air management, everything that makes this “future” transportation a reality? In this roundtable discussion, participants will examine what infrastructure, both digital and physical, it will take to support safe, affordable, sustainable flights for the future. Examine why infrastructure has to become the focus for investment with topics including:
Standardization: At scale, no one entity is going to own the land, the vertiport, the aircraft – how do we drive standardization and ensure interoperability for all of this to work? Whether cargo or passenger, how do we standardize technology, assets, digital footprint, physical design to build hubs of operation?
Energy Requirements: What will this look like 10 years, 20 years from now? How can we predict the usage required both on-grid and off-grid (hydrogen)?
Digital Infrastructure: UTM, cybersecurity, digital information sharing – how do we connect all of these so multiple aircraft can be safely in the airspace at the same time? What does a “system of systems” with ubiquitous data sharing look like
Drone Delivery for Health Care and Emergency Service Providers
Using drones to quickly get eyes on the scene, deliver medical supplies and other necessities to disaster sites and hazardous areas is being executed in use-case scenarios. Equipping first responders with UAV technology can allow for earlier intervention and more rapid execution, providing a different, or additional, vantage point to the scenario. How can this application be scaled for agencies across the globe and what lessons can be applied to other facets of AAM?
Scalability: Emergency and medical response demonstrations have been executed around the world, how do we create and communicate a model that can be adopted by health officials and emergency responders on a regular basis?
Public Acceptance: Urgent medical supply drone deliveries have been viewed as one path for starting to gain public acceptance for general drone delivery. How can the UAM/AAM industry lean into this opportunity, of gaining public acceptance, without muddling the drone-for-good efforts?
Safety: Incorporating UAVs into emergency response situation require air traffic management, onboarding tools and standards, and expanded communication to keep everyone aware of what’s happening in the sky and on the ground. What standards will allow first responders to integrate the technology safely?
