Advanced Air Mobility is no longer hypothetical. Interest is widespread. Activity is accelerating. Across Michigan and the broader region, airports, communities, and businesses are asking the same question:
What comes next—and how do we do this together?
At Thelenwood Consulting, our focus in 2026 is clear: moving AAM from momentum to integration, and from isolated activity to sustainable, community-grounded systems.
That work cannot happen in silos.
Why Consortiums Matter Now
As AAM matures, the limiting factor is no longer technology—it is alignment.
Airports are exploring readiness.
Service providers and OEMs are refining solutions.
Communities are seeking clarity and trust.
Businesses are evaluating real-world applications.
In 2026, Thelenwood Consulting is convening consortiums to align partners around shared understanding, practical use cases, and real-world integration.
Grounding AAM in Reality
Real integration starts with people and place.That means grounding AAM in community needs, aligning innovation with existing aviation networks, and ensuring AAM is approachable, understandable, and accessible in practice.
Who We’re Looking to Hear From
Airports exploring AAM readiness or planning
AAM service providers and OEMs
Community leaders and public agencies
Businesses and end users
The Goal for 2026
The goal is not more activity—it is better integration
By convening the right partners, we aim to move AAM from pilots to systems and from experimentation to long-term value.
