Video transcript
On screen text: A newly designated airspace is being developed in South East Michigan to advance drones and electric air travel. It is a key feature of M-Air, a new initiative at the University of Michigan. M-Air is an expansion of U-M’s autonomous vehicle testbed, Mcity, focusing on advanced air mobility. M-Air will provide space and support for researchers and companies testing these aircrafts in a real-world environment focusing on beyond-line-of-sight drone operation as well as vertical takeoff and landing for battery-powered aircraft. A White House executive order calling for the development of these capabilities helped accelerate M-Air. M-Air will drive research to improve drone capabilities for helping disaster relief, medical response and more; and improve how autonomous electric aircraft coexist with ground based robotics and crewed aircraft.
