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).
