AIRB (Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness with ADS-B) enhances pilot awareness by displaying nearby aircraft detected through ADS-B IN. It receives ADS-B OUT signals, showing each aircraft’s position, altitude, and direction, on a cockpit display. Unlike TCAS, which only

Archer Aviation’s fully electric eVTOL aircraft, Midnight, has already begun test flights in Abu Dhabi as part of its push toward urban air mobility deployment in the UAE. Archer has also signed an agreement with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office to establish a research centre and

In aviation, there are two main flight rules: VFR (Visual Flight Rules) and IFR (Instrument Flight Rules). VFR relies on the pilot’s ability to see outside references, requiring good visibility and weather. IFR allows navigation solely by instruments, essential in poor weather

The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) plans to convert over 70 existing helipads into hybrid landing zones supporting both helicopters and eVTOLs, expanding the foundation for the country’s AAM ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Dubai International Vertiport (DXV) near DXB

We’re testing DeRadar’s high-frequency flight data uploads in Parquet data format using @ar_io_network’s ArDrive Turbo SDK. This week, we’re the 3rd largest data uploader by number of files uploaded. By using Parquet data format, we’re reducing data packet size by about 60% and

Australia’s aviation authority has released a proposed model to expand ADS-B usage across more aircraft and airspace classes. From 2028: VFR aircraft may need ADS-B OUT (or EC devices) and ADS-B IN in most airspace classes. By 2033: Full ADS-B compliance in Class B/C airspace

UAE launches world’s first hybrid operations framework for eVTOLs and helicopters! The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has introduced the world’s first regulatory framework that allows eVTOL aircraft and conventional helicopters to operate interchangeably on the

Japan prepares for takeoff in urban air mobility! ANA Holdings and Joby Aviation have announced a new joint venture to launch electric air taxi services across Japan, starting in Tokyo and expanding to other major cities. The plan includes deploying over 100 Joby eVTOL

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) refer to flights operated using instruments and air traffic control guidance, typically in low-visibility or controlled airspace conditions. In contrast, Visual Flight Rules (VFR) rely primarily on the pilot’s ability to see and navigate visually.

Avoiding traffic isn’t just about speed, it’s about sustainability. eVTOLs cut delivery times and reduce carbon emissions, transforming urban mobility into a greener, more efficient experience. In congested cities like Shenzhen, what would be a 45-minute car trip can take just 20

Seoul is taking a major step in preparing infrastructure for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Using existing highway networks and travel data, the city identified suitable locations for eVTOL vertiports. Out of 148 potential sites, 56 were found

In congested cities, multiple eVTOLs can navigate the same airspace simultaneously, but this requires ADS-B integration. Serving as the backbone of these “smart sky” systems, ADS-B enables each aircraft to share its real-time position, reducing the risk of mid-air conflicts,

Check out this well-written case study by @ar_io_network to learn how Derad Network uses ARIO tools and SDKs to build a permanent and transparent ADS-B flight tracking network👇🏼 https://t.co/ATKC0Fi1Ed

Research indicates that on 50 km urban routes, Lift-and-Cruise eVTOLs can save approximately 23 minutes compared to cars and 22 minutes compared to public transport. They also emit 77% less CO₂ than the average helicopter, 46% less than petrol cars, and 44% less than diesel

An Alaska-based air cargo company has recently taken a step forward by exploring the use of eCTOL aircraft to enhance efficiency and sustainability in its operations. In remote regions, often only accessible by air, these aircraft can deliver medical supplies, food, and other

Paris once took a major step toward urban air mobility with its “Re.Invent Air Mobility” initiative. As part of the program, 30 projects were launched to test key components such as vertiport placement, air corridor design, and UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) integration. This

Check out our recent interview with @usewander about how we use @ar_io_network and @ArweaveEco to build the world’s first fully transparent ADS-B data layer👇🏼

On June 18, 2025, Eve signed a Letter of Intent for 54 eVTOLs targeting the Brazil and U.S. markets, marking a significant step in expanding urban air mobility solutions. PLANA is advancing its hybrid-electric eVTOL program with the CP-01 prototype, aiming for FAA certification

In the future of urban transportation, mobility services that bypass ground traffic will transform how cities move. Air taxis, eVTOLs, and other aerial solutions can overcome congestion, linking key points in minutes instead of hours. Taking travel into the sky promises faster,
