1、Advanced Air Mobility on the runway to commercializationREPORTA close look at eVTOL unit economicsThis study focuses on the economics of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing(eVTOL)aircraft in the Advanced Air Mobility(AAM)market.Investment in AAM increased from USD 1.6 billion in 2020 to USD 7.5 b
2、illion in 2021 but fell sharply in 2022 and 2023 due to macroeconomic conditions as well as declining investor confidence.Despite this downturn,we believe the industry is experiencing a typical Gartner Hype Cycle,and only AAM aircraft companies offering technically and commercially viable solutions
3、will eventually survive.The AAM industry needs to achieve both the technical proof of concept,which covers achieving type certification and securing production ramp-up,and the commercial proof of concept,which requires a collaboration from all stakeholders across the AAM ecosystem to ensure an effec
4、tive and efficient alignment of the ecosystem building blocks as the foundation for commercially viable unit economics.Our economic model considers the direct and indirect operating costs of three different eVTOL aircraft types to determine ticket prices and unit economics.We analyze three use cases
5、:City Taxi,Airport Shuttle,and Inter City.Our findings indicate that while eVTOL unit economics are higher initially than currently claimed by eVTOL aircraft manufacturers,they can be reduced by considering low-cost vertiports,switching to remotely piloted or autonomous flights,and improving battery
6、 lifetime.Despite facing numerous challenges,we believe AAM can be economically viable for a premium market in the early years,and that eVTOL OEMs,operators,and ecosystem stakeholders should work together to offer the most efficient and effective AAM services.Looking ahead,it is crucial to build con
