Key Takeaways:

AFWERX and NASA are strengthening their partnership to accelerate the integration of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) technologies.
They are collaborating to establish a nationwide digital operations center for AAM services, such as electric air taxis.
ResilienX, funded by AFWERX and NASA, is leading an industry consortium to design this scalable and tactical digital system, with initial deployment planned for late 2024 in Syracuse.
This initiative aims to improve applications in defense, emergency response, and commercial air transportation, contributing to the FAA's target of AAM operations at scale by 2028.

Two U.S. agencies working to usher in the era of advanced air mobility (AAM) are stepping up their partnership.

AFWERX, the innovation arm of the U.S. Air Force, is collaborating with NASA to develop a digital operations center for AAM services, such as electric air taxis, nationwide. The project follows a partnership agreed on by AFWERX and the FAA in June to exchange flight test data and testing capabilities for emerging aircraft designs, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL).
