Air taxi

The air taxi market is an application of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)—air transportation systems that utilize advanced technologies such as vertical takeoffs, autonomous capabilities, or fully-electric systems—for short to mid range on-demand flights.[1][2] Many AAM vehicles are designed for Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) or Vertical Takeoff and Landings (VTOL); electric VTOL aircraft are also prominent, known as eVTOLs.[2]

Another noteworthy term for the air taxi market is Urban Air Mobility (UAM), which is a sub-category of AAM focused on applications in urban settings.[2]
