In this episode of The Tech Between Us, guest host Matt Campbell speaks with Bob Johnson, Principal at Johnson Consulting and Advisory, to examine the fundamentals of urban air mobility (UAM) and advanced air mobility (AAM).

They discuss how cities, airports, and OEMs prepare for this new mode of flight that complements existing trains, planes, and automobiles. Bob explains how vertiports connect airports to central business districts, why cargo and emergency response will lead early adoption, and what it takes to safely integrate these systems into national airspace.

Learn how technology, infrastructure, and public acceptance converge to make on-demand aerial transportation possible.
