In this episode of The Ways We Move, host Nicolas Zart sits down with aviation veteran David Ison to explore the evolving landscape of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). With decades of experience as a pilot, educator, and now aviation planner at the Washington State Department of Transportation, David shares his unique perspective on the real-world challenges and opportunities in AAM.

We discuss:

  • The shift from science fiction to reality in urban and regional air mobility
  • Why the Middle East may outpace the US and Europe in launching AAM operations
  • The critical gap between aircraft development and infrastructure readiness
  • The overlooked potential of eSTOLs, eCTOLs, and retrofitting existing aircraft
  • The promise and hurdles of hydrogen in aviation
  • How airports could become future energy hubs

Whether you’re an industry insider or just curious about the future of flight, this episode offers a grounded, global view on what it will really take to bring advanced air mobility to life.

Listen in for candid insights, a few technical hiccups, and a look at why the next wave of aviation innovation is about much more than just the aircraft.
