Home/UAS & AAM

EAGLE FLIGHT VERTICAL SOLUTIONS

UAS & Advanced Air Mobility Solutions

Connecting airspace, infrastructure, technology, safety, and operations for emerging aviation.

From concept to operational framework

EFVS helps organizations assess how proposed UAS and AAM operations fit into the National Airspace System and the environments where they will operate. Work may include implementation assessments, operational concepts, airspace coordination, policies, and standard operating procedures.

Infrastructure and ecosystem readiness

Facilities must support the whole operation, not only takeoff and landing. Planning considers airport and vertiport sites, transportation connections, power, communications, maintenance, emergency response, and community interfaces.

  • Airport and vertiport readiness assessments
  • UTM and airspace management considerations
  • Battery, maintenance, and repair facility planning
  • Safety, cybersecurity, and contingency planning

A coordinated path forward

EFVS brings regulatory insight and operational experience to planning and implementation so each element can be evaluated against the intended mission.
