What is that?

According to the Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act, Advanced Air Mobility is defined as an air transportation system that transports individuals and property between points using aircraft, such as remotely piloted, autonomous, or vertical take-off and landing aircraft. This includes those powered by electric or hybrid-electric propulsion, in both controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
