Recent advancements in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft
and the broader advanced air mobility (AAM) movement have generated significant
interest within and beyond the traditional aviation industry. Many new
applications have been identified and are under development, with considerable
potential for market growth and exciting potential. However, talent resources
are the most critical parameters to make or break the AAM vision, and
significantly more talent is needed than the traditional aviation industry is
able to currently generate. One possible solution—leverage rapid advancements of
artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the gaming industry to help attract,
identify, educate, and encourage current and future generations to engage in
various aspects of the AAM industry.
Beyond Aviation: Embedded Gaming, Artificial Intelligence, Training, and
Recruitment for the Advanced Air Mobility Industry discusses how the
modern gaming population of 3.3 million individuals could be engaged through
embedded AAM-based scenarios and AI-enhanced grading systems for concept
creation, engineering, manufacturing, air space design and management, piloting,
remote operations, infrastructure planning, vehicle operations.
