This isn\u2019t just about flying vehicles; it\u2019s about creating smarter, greener digitalised transport networks that can spark regional and national economic growth.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" title=\"AMEC\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1083547313?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In our white paper, \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nats.aero\/about-us\/research\/project-amec-white-paper\/\">Recommendations to enable growth of the advanced air mobility sector<\/a>,\u2019<\/em> we explore the next steps that need to be taken, including the creation of new \u2018rules of the sky\u2019 appropriate for a new age of digital, and the need for effective lower airspace traffic management.<\/p>\n<p>The success of AMEC \u2013 from concept to flight \u2013 has been down to the proactive collaboration between each of the consortium members, and the support of UK Research and Innovation. Working together has given each of us a more robust and rounded consideration of the entire aviation ecosystem, which in turn will ensure that the solutions we\u2019re developing are future fit and offer longevity on which to build upon.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week, Skyports has achieved operational completion of its vertiport at Bicester Motion, Oxfordshire, one of the UK\u2019s first testing grounds and hubs for eVTOL flights.
