Textron Joins AAM Roundtable

NBAA Welcomes OEM’s eAviation Unit

Aircraft manufacturer Textron, based in Wichita, Kansas, producer of such storied brands as Cessna, Beechcraft, and Bell Helicopter, jumped into the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ring with its 2022 acquisition of European electric aircraft maker Pipistrel.

And to solidify its standing in the company of AAM players it has joined the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA) AAM Roundtable.

The AAM Roundtable was established in 2021 with a primary aim of maintaining the global leadership position of the U.S. in aviation and aerospace while mobilizing the full potential of AAM with regard to safety, economic, environmental, and national security benefits.

The Roundtable has already secured legislative victories in 2022 on Capitol Hill with the Advanced Air Mobility Coordination and Leadership Act (S.516) and the Advanced Aviation Infrastructure Modernization Act (AAIM Act).

NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen said, “In just a few years, NBAA’s AAM Roundtable has proven to be a powerful voice in the development and advancement of these exciting and sustainable technologies. We are pleased that Textron eAviation has joined in this effort to advance the safety-driven integration of AAM vehicles and supporting infrastructure into our National Airspace System.”

Kriya Shortt, president and CEO of Textron eAviation echoed the same sentiments saying, “We are honored to join NBAA’s Advanced Air Mobility Roundtable and applaud their steadfast advocacy in shaping policies that foster innovation and prioritize safety in aviation. Our collaboration with NBAA and other industry leaders is crucial as we collectively work to develop transformative and sustainable transportation solutions that meet the evolving demands of global mobility.”
