This white paper unpacks the U.S. AAM National Strategy and Comprehensive Plan for 2026–2036, detailing how DOT, FAA, NASA, DOD, DHS, DOE, and more than 25 federal agencies will coordinate to accelerate safe, scalable Advanced Air Mobility deployments across the nation. It explains the LIFT implementation framework—Leverage, Initiate, Forge, Transform—and breaks down over 7 pillars of recommendations spanning airspace, vertiport and energy infrastructure, security and cybersecurity, community engagement, workforce development, and automation. Readers gain a concise view of future milestones (2027 demos, 2030 multi-city operations, 2035 high-autonomy services), interagency roles, funding pathways, and regulatory priorities that will shape eVTOL, regional air mobility, and low-altitude traffic management in the U.S. AAM ecosystem.
