Fair Winds Homeward

Definition, Mission, and Principles

Advanced Air Mobility is the emerging aviation ecosystem that leverages revolutionary new aircraft and a broad array of innovative technologies to safely, quickly, and sustainably move people and goods among local destinations to connect communities underserved by existing modes of transportation.


The Advanced Air Mobility Institute, Inc. is an international non-profit research center dedicated to educating and advocating for the broadest public benefit through the aviation ecosystem globally. Ultimately, the AAM Institute is committed to protecting people, their rights, and the systems we rely on. We seek to accelerate access to these new technologies in an ethical and responsible way.


We have 3 guiding principles to focus our efforts:


  • Safety - AAM needs to build a robust safety culture where data drives learning. Moreover, AAM technology should be available immediately to public safety agencies in order to expedite response time and thereby save more lives. Brilliant scientists and aerospace engineers have mastered the physics for practical application but each day that passes without access due to regulatory red tape, we lose people unnecessarily. We are leading the effort to promote Drones as First Responder (DFR) programs as well as eVTOL as Air Medical Service (eAMS).


  • Dignity - The Institute will continually engage with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and citizens throughout the world to provide education and honest assessments regarding the state of AAM in their community. We are committed to ensuring that AAM is both sustainable & affordable in a way that the benefits of this new ecosystem are shared in accordance with the Net Zero CO2 Emission goal and the spirit of the Justice40 Initiative. We are building a Multi-stakeholder Initiative (MSI) to advocate for fair policies & practices through the Autonomous Transportation Public Trust Initiative (ATPTI).


  • Resilience -  With an eye toward the future, the Institute promotes systems resilience. We will rally decision makers to invest in youth STEM education and implement proactive cybersecurity measures well before the dawn of cryptographically-relevant quantum computers.  AAM is designed to more quickly transport people and goods but a failure here will jeopardize reliability and eliminate time savings. In fact, we seek necessary amendments to the UN treaties on Aircraft Hijacking. Finally, we must ensure that the transition from licensed pilots to self-flying aircraft occurs only when AI can categorically reduce human error as proven through the Green AAM Pilot's Association (GrAAMPA).


The Advanced Air Mobility Institute, Inc. is tax exempt under IRC §501(c)(3), operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes.

AAM Institute Vision

AAM Institute Brand Ambassador

Makayla Galler is an inspiration and role model for the next generation of aviators.

"Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off! But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you." - Earhart
