Advanced Air Mobility Research and Innovation Lab (AAMRIL)

The Advanced Air Mobility Research and Innovation Lab (AAMRIL) advances the safe, efficient, equitable, and sustainable integration of advanced air mobility (AAM) systems into future transportation networks through interdisciplinary research, systems innovation, and operational planning. AAMRIL’s focus on maturing concepts of operation addresses critical areas such as integrated airspace and traffic management, autonomy, flight safety, human factors, policy, public acceptance, and infrastructure development. 

By blending academic research with real-world experimentation and collaborating with public agencies, industry partners, and communities, the lab employs a systems-based approach, advanced analytics, and human-centered design to develop scalable solutions for complex AAM environments.
