Today, we are able to receive orders faster than ever thanks to online ordering and fast delivery services. Demand for this rapid delivery approach continues to grow, and new methods of transporting cargo must be found to keep pace.
NASA (American agency for aeronautics and specialization) points out that it has the means to revolutionize the cargo transport industry, developing faster and cleaner means of transport, using large cargo delivery planes and small package delivery drones.
NASA is Working with Elroy Air and Reliable Robotics to learn more about these prototype Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) cargo delivery vehicles. The partnership is focused on developing knowledge about these vehicles as they are being built and tested.

โWe're interested to see how new aviation operations compare to conventional freight transport because we believe it doesn't have the same issues,โ says Kurt Swieringa, deputy technology project manager for the ATM-X (Air Traffic Management eXploration) project.
NASA is investigating how these new vehicles will fit into the existing airport environment and US airspace as a whole. Many cargo and package flights can be handled using a large number of aircraft.
NASA's AAM mission, envisioned to integrate new air traffic management systems into the airspace, would require additional reliance on digital communications and autonomy to safely integrate these new operations into the airspace.
It is likely that AAM will be able to move more packages by air by taking the research areas of air traffic management, automation, aircraft design and safety assurance and combining them into a practical operation. Government bodies, the industry and the public must work together to safely integrate this new class of aircraft.
NASA's goal is to create new, safe, affordable, and economically sustainable air transportation systems by mapping new safe, affordable, and economically sustainable air transportation systems with industry and community partners and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Automated aircraft could travel between cities and between cities within the city, between other cities, or to other places currently accessible by car. These new features would allow passengers and cargo to travel on demand in innovative, automated aircraft across the city, between neighboring towns, or to other locations normally accessible today by car.
