1. General

a.

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is a rapidly

emerging, new sector of the aerospace industry which aims

to safely and efficiently integrate highly automated aircraft into the NAS. AAM is not a single technology, but
rather a collection of new and emerging technologies being applied to the aviation transportation system,
particularly in new aircraft types. Notional AAM use

cases include Urban Air Mobility (UAM), Regional Air

Mobility (RAM), public services, large cargo delivery, and private or recreational vehicles.

b.

UAM and RAM are subsets of AAM activities occurring in urban environments.
