Building the Future Supply Chains for Advanced Air Mobility
Advanced Air Mobility is more than a transportation opportunity. It is an emerging manufacturing, workforce, and economic development opportunity.
This white paper examines how states can position their manufacturers and workforce to capture the emerging Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and dual-use market. It identifies four interconnected supply chains: Ground Infrastructure, Air Navigation Infrastructure, Flight Operations, and Aircraft Manufacturing. The paper presents a six-step framework for mapping existing capabilities, identifying supply-chain and workforce gaps, and aligning investment and policy. With commercial AAM advancing, drone applications expanding, and defense investment accelerating demand for autonomous systems and domestic manufacturing, states that begin building these capabilities today will be better positioned to capture the economic opportunities ahead.
