Description

Watch the recording of the webinar “Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) to Enhance Rural Logistics,” presented by Dr. Raj Bridgelall of North Dakota State University on June 2, 2026. This session presents groundbreaking research from the CTIPS-001 project, which examines how AAM can transform freight logistics in rural areas while helping to preserve critical ground transportation infrastructure. Viewers gain a deeper understanding of how aerial solutions can effectively complement traditional trucking operations, including specific scenarios for when and where aerial freight delivery makes the most sense. The presentation highlights practical opportunities for shifting targeted freight movements to aircraft and discusses the particular value of AAM for goods such as pharmaceuticals, hazardous materials, and specialized electronics. Whether you are involved in transportation policy, logistics operations, or rural economic development, this webinar offers valuable insights into the future of sustainable freight movement.
