Concept of Operations:

Autonomous Urban Air Mobility

A Template for Autonomous Flight

This Concept of Operations (ConOps) defines our vision for autonomous advanced air mobility operations and the addition of uncrewed aircraft into the current aviation ecosystem. This document outlines our approach to the aircraft, ground-based supervisors, infrastructure, airspace integration, and more, and provides a template for safe, everyday, autonomous flight.

Our Concept of Operations

Our self-flying first approach will redefine long-standing concepts of flight and usher in a safer, scalable, and more accessible era in aviation. For a more detailed look at how autonomous flight will work — from airspace integration to ground control stations — read our Concept of Operations for Uncrewed Urban Air Mobility, jointly developed with Boeing.
