Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act

Bill 117 HR 1339, also known as the Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act, aims to establish a framework for coordinating and leading efforts related to advanced air mobility (AAM) in the United States. The bill recognizes the potential of AAM technologies, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, to revolutionize transportation and improve efficiency.

The legislation directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish an interagency working group to coordinate AAM activities across various federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), NASA, and the Department of Defense. This working group will be responsible for developing a national strategy for AAM, identifying regulatory barriers, and promoting collaboration between government and industry stakeholders.

Furthermore, the bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to designate an official within the FAA to serve as the lead for AAM coordination and to establish an AAM research and development program. This program will focus on advancing technologies, standards, and best practices for AAM operations. Overall, Bill 117 HR 1339 seeks to position the United States as a leader in AAM technology and ensure that the necessary coordination and leadership are in place to support the safe and efficient integration of these innovative transportation solutions.
