Industry Insights: Partnerships Advancing the Future of Autonomous Flight
As Advanced Air Mobility moves from concept to commercial viability, safe integration into shared airspace remains a critical industry hurdle. Brenden Hedblom, Head of Product at SkyGrid, sat down with Erick Corona, former Head of Airspace & Operational Integration at Wisk, to discuss how the two companies are collaborating to make safe, scalable autonomous […]
A Faster Way to Model Flight Plan Uncertainty
In practice, an aircraft’s filed flight plan does not represent its true flown trajectory. Environmental disturbances and vehicle abnormalities all serve to deviate an aircraft from its nominal path, so strategic planners need a robust mechanism to estimate vehicle deviations. Underestimate that, and you get clear flight plans that end up too close to weather […]
Unlocking the Sky: How Our Latest FAA Tech Center Simulation Advances Autonomous Air Mobility
The Case for Modular CDR: Building AAM Deconfliction that Scales
Most conflict-resolution systems for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) handle long-range planning and in-the-moment maneuvering as two separate systems built independently. This approach can be risky because these systems can end up telling the same aircraft to do conflicting things. The framework in our technical paper, “Learning-based Hierarchical Framework for Strategic and Tactical Planning,” takes a […]
Archer to Shape Physical AI Future of Aerospace and Defense with Acquisition of Boeing’s Wisk Aero, Insitu and SkyGrid Subsidiaries; Boeing to Invest in Archer and Collaborate
Transaction creates an end-to-end physical AI platform for aerospace and defense. Adds a profitable defense business generating over $200M in annual revenue[1], with operations across 35 countries, to Archer’s portfolio. Combines Wisk, SkyGrid and Insitu’s pioneering autonomy and airspace intelligence software with Archer’s leading purpose-built AI foundation model for aerospace and defense, ZEE. Boeing to […]
Advanced Air Mobility High-Resolution Weather Requirements
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft will fly lower, slower, and closer to obstacles than any commercial aircraft before them. The weather data the industry relies on today wasn’t built for that, and the gap has to close before operations can scale. At Airspace World 2026, Jordan Cohen, R&D Lead at SkyGrid, and Gabriele Enea, Assistant […]
Working Together to Create a Collaborative Culture for Safe and Resilient Integrated Airspace
Last month, CANSO Airspace World in Lisbon brought together civil aviation, defense, and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) experts to discuss how airspace integration can be optimized as different kinds of operations increasingly share the same airspace. SkyGrid CEO Jia Xu joined other industry leaders on a panel exploring how better collaboration and innovative thinking can […]
Automated Traffic Management Services Enabling Advanced Air Mobility
SkyGrid’s Dr. Joseph Rios recently joined EUROCONTROL, a pan-European organization dedicated to supporting European aviation, to discuss how automated traffic management services can enable Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations at scale. The conversation covered what makes AAM fundamentally different from today’s aviation, why new flight rules are needed, and how an Automated Traffic Management System […]
