Advanced Air Mobility is no longer a concept. Interest is high. Investment is real. New platforms, policies, pilots, and partnerships continue to emerge across the ecosystem.
But as AAM accelerates, one question matters more than all others:
Is AAM becoming real—or is it remaining abstract?

In 2026, Thelenwood Consulting is intentionally repositioning its work around that question.
Our goal is to be the go-to resource for AAM integration—helping communities, airports, public agencies, and private partners make sense of complexity and integrate Advanced Air Mobility into real-world scenarios that improve access, opportunity, and everyday life.
Because if AAM isn’t real, approachable, and accessible in practice, it doesn’t matter.
What the Data Is Telling Us
Findings from Thelenwood Consulting’s AAM Index Survey show strong interest in AAM engagement, but readiness and information sharing remain uneven. The gap is not technical—it is understanding, information flow, and integration.
Our Role: A Guide Through Complexity
As Advanced Air Mobility grows more complex, clarity becomes infrastructure.
Our approach is guided by a simple principle: reality grounded in data, and data grounded in reality.
Equity, Access, and Everyday Understanding
An equity-first approach focuses on outcomes—faster emergency response, better access to services, infrastructure reliability, and local jobs.
Looking Ahead
Our focus is turning momentum into real-world value.
Making AAM real. Period.
