Draft:Regional Air Mobility

Regional Air Mobility (RAM)

 * "RAM focuses on building upon existing airport infrastructure to transport people and goods using innovative aircraft that offer a huge improvement in efficiency, affordability, and community-friendly integration over existing regional transportation options. These aircraft, that typically carry less than 20 passengers or an equivalent weight in cargo, are flexible in terms of where they can take off and land, even using existing runways and infrastructure to maximize compatibility with today’s airports."
 * "RAM brings together new aviation technologies and existing small airport infrastructure into a transportation model that is more equitable, more economical, and more environmentally friendly for air travel over short distances, compared to today’s status quo. If these changes materialize, the total addressable market (TAM) for small regional flights globally could be $75 billion to $115 billion by 2035, representing 300 to 700 million passengers annually."
 * "Regional Air Mobility (RAM), using advanced electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, provides a cost-effective solution to connect communities that have been underserved by current aviation norms while also providing needed relief to capacity-constrained aviation hubs and regional highways."
