In December 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation released the Advanced Air Mobility National Strategy 2025 and the Advanced Air Mobility Comprehensive Plan 2025, and outlined its vision and plan for the social implementation of AAM through 2036.



Phase 1 of the Action Plan is defined as leveraging existing programs to support innovation and begin operations; the program that carries the greatest weight in this regard is established pursuant to the June 6, 2025, Presidential Executive Order 14307: “UNLEASHING AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE” as the electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
