Bold opportunities to reshape the future

Paradigm shifts that will make our vision for a thriving future aviation system a reality.

Seamless Skies

New vehicles and legacy vehicles fly together seamlessly connecting the user from departure to destination.

Sustainable Solutions

Innovation designed to meet the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit for long term sustainable solutions - better for society, earth and business.

Ubiquitous & Resilient

Real-time decision-making information will be available anywhere and any time. Uncertainty planning and toolsets builds resilience into every flight plan.

Learning-Based

Machine-learning is ubiquitous, so that tools and services connect operators to the most current knowledge and situational awareness is enhanced both for human/machine and machine-to-machine cooperation.

Operator Optimization

Operators will have freedom to fly among diverse vehicles working collaboratively and cooperatively sharing data & exercising tools for more mobility to optimize on environmental footprint and other operator-specifc mission goals.

Let's hear from you.

We want to hear your thoughts and inputs on these opportunities and paradigm shifts.
