\u201cThe National Aerospace Research & Technology Park\nbelieves that New Jersey is uniquely capable of becoming a global leader in the\narea of Advanced Aerial Mobility,\u201d said NARTP President\/CEO Howard Kyle. \u201cThe\neconomic development benefits related to this emerging area of aviation would\nbe substantial and transformative for our region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AAM technology enables a new dimension of flexibility, accessibility,\nand autonomy that traditional aircraft cannot perform. It uses electric\nvertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft employing battery power to\nhover, take off, and land vertically. This technology came about because of\nmajor advances in electric propulsion and the growing demand for more\nenvironmentally friendly modes of transportation. New AAM companies such as\nJoby and Jaunt Air Mobility, along with government agencies such as the FAA and\nNASA, are working to deliver these innovative capabilities to market and enable\nuse cases, such as emergency services, rural-urban transit, air taxis, package\ndelivery, and remote sensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deloitte has conducted several studies regarding AAM and is\nrecognized as an expert in this area. According to one recent report, \u201cAdvanced\nAir Mobility: Can the U.S. Afford to Lose the Race?\u201d U.S. aerospace and defense\ncompanies are poised to lead the nascent global industry which is predicted to\nbecome mainstream in the 2030s. It is\nconsidered the next inflection point in the aerospace industry\u2019s ongoing\nevolution and is estimated to reach $115 billion annually by 2035, employing\nmore than 280,000 workers in high-paying jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs our region works to diversify its economy in the wake of\nthe COVID-19 pandemic, and overcome its reliance on a single industry, the\naviation sector emerges as a prime sector for investment, growth, and\ninnovation,\u201d said NARTP Chairman Mark Loeben. \u201cAviation assets that are unique\nto New Jersey include the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center and the\nAtlantic City International Airport, a designated Smart Airport Test Bed\nFacility, as well as the NARTP. Collectively these cojoined assets, as well as\nthe surrounding one-mile area, constitutes New Jersey\u2019s only officially\nrecognized Aviation District. With the right leadership, vision and investment,\nNew Jersey has the potential to become a major player in the AAM market. The\nfact that NASA has established an operation at the NARTP in support of this\neffort gives you an idea of the caliber of the agencies involved in bringing\nthis technology to market,\u201d Loeben added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per the agreement, Deloitte will provide the following\ndeliverables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Step-by-step AAM implementation plan<\/li>
- Interviews with key stakeholders in aviation,\nindustry and academia<\/li>
- Identify key assets<\/li>
- Identify and outline best practices<\/li>
- Gauge potential economic impact<\/li>
- Recommend policy and legislative changes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Deloitte\u2019s Emerging Infrastructure Technology Services group\nhas helped State, Federal, and commercial clients define their AAM strategies\nand roadmaps based on their unique opportunities, challenges, and needs.\nDeloitte combines innovative and world-class capabilities to assess the\nimpacts, benefits and opportunities resulting from emerging technology\necosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goals for this project include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Educate New Jersey aviation and economic\ndevelopment stakeholders on AAM trends, statewide benefits, and the market.<\/li>
- Generate excitement and support in the region\nwith government, industry, and academic stakeholders to broaden recognition and\nsupport for AAM and public\/private investment in AAM infrastructure and\nemerging technology within the region.<\/li>
- Raise New Jersey\u2019s profile within the AAM\necosystem as a serious player willing to invest in this market and support\nbusiness incubation.<\/li>
- Define and develop the NARTP\u2019s AAM objectives,\nstrategy, and roadmap to attract industry to New Jersey, test and\noperationalize use cases, and create economic impact and jobs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The NARTP is catalyzing innovation with an ecosystem of\npartnerships and harnessing the power of collaboration, facilitating research\nand development, innovation, and commercialization of emerging aviation technologies.\nNARTP is located on a 58-acre parcel adjoining the Federal Aviation\nAdministration William J. Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC), an internationally\nrecognized facility dedicated to research, development, and sustainment of the\nNational Airspace System; and the Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), a\ndesignated Smart Airport Research Test Bed Facility. NARTP tenants are\nperforming leading research in Unmanned Aerial Systems\/Advanced Air Mobility\n(UAS\/AAM) focusing on the safety implications of nascent UAS operational\nconcepts, their testing and certification, as well as the emerging technologies\nneeded to support the development of new regulatory standards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
