  • BSI Flex 1903 v2:2024-06 community preview

    This is an interactive version 2 of BSI Flex 1903. The aim of the standard is to create a lexicon of standard terms and acronyms used in this sector. Please note, content is still undergoing internal review and there may be minor changes at full publication.

    We welcome your engagement and comments on this version to help inform the development of the standard. We would also welcome general feedback including what terms could be considered for future versions and these can be made through our dedicated feedback page .

  • Definition

    safe, secure and sustainable air mobility of passengers and cargo enabled by new-generation technologies integrated into a multimodal transportation system

     

    NOTE 1 The EASA source document uses the term “innovative air mobility” (IAM).

    NOTE 2 AAM is a type of innovative aerial service (IAS) (3.1.96).

    NOTE 3 AAM envisions the use of autonomous or semi-autonomous flight capabilities.

    NOTE 4 AAM operations include the subsets of urban and regional air mobility.

    NOTE 5 The majority of AAM aircraft are expected to include a VTOL capability in order to optimize and maximize their use in urban environments.

    NOTE 6 “AAM is not a single technology, but rather a collection of new and emerging technologies being applied to the aviation transportation system, particularly in new aircraft types” (U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Aeronautical information manual [1]).

     

    [SOURCE: EASA, Opinion No 03/2023, modified – “IAM” replaced by “AAM”] [2]

     

    Previous version: 1.0 Release date: September 2023

    next generation of air transport systems intended for both urban air mobility (3.1.86) and regional air mobility (3.1.75) solutions utilizing electric/hybrid powered aircraft within an integrated digital infrastructure

    NOTE 1 AAM envisions the use of autonomous or semi-autonomous flight capabilities.

    NOTE 2 “AAM is not a single technology, but rather a collection of new and emerging technologies being applied to the aviation transportation system, particularly in new aircraft types” (See U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Aeronautical Information Manual, April 2023.)
