From November 2023 to February 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) Volpe Center (a transportation research institute in Massachusetts under the DOT), in cooperation with the DOT Office of the Under Secretary for Policy, jointly hosted a 7-session online event series on Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) titled “Up, Up, and Away: Innovations in Advanced Air Mobility.” This online event involved panel discussions by government officials and industry leaders with a specific AAM-related theme for each session; a final report of the sessions was compiled in April 2024. This paper will provide an overview of the key points from each of the seven sessions.
