Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) will realize the once considered science fiction vision of "flying cars" in the coming years with the market readiness of air taxis. This concept serves as a technology demonstrator for locally emission-free mobility in the third dimension, particularly in areas with high population density, traffic congestion, or complex topography. Advances in electric propulsion and energy storage technologies, including electricity and hydrogen, enable the efficient implementation of AAM. The growing interest in AAM in recent years is noticeable, but societal acceptance ultimately depends on a secure integration into an intelligent air and ground-based structure. This requires the convergence of scientific expertise in areas such as engineering, materials research, simulation, and traffic experiments.
