PODCAST: Ernest Huffman of North Central Texas Council of Governments on how the state is preparing for AAM

Our next pod­cast is live! This week, we were delight­ed to be joined by Ernest Huff­man, Avi­a­tion Plan­ning Edu­ca­tion Pro­gram Man­ag­er at North Cen­tral Texas Coun­cil of Gov­ern­ment.

In this episode, Ernest tells us more about the work of the organ­i­sa­tion when it comes to Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty. He out­lines the poten­tial for AAM in the state, along with chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties, and we can ask Ernest what help he needs from eVTOL OEMs or key indus­try play­ers.

As Texas is a hotbed of tech­nolo­gies, we also dis­cuss future use cas­es — with Dal­las being one of the host cities dur­ing the FIFA World Cup in 2026 — and drone deliv­ery com­pa­nies which are start­ing to set up oper­a­tions in the state. And final­ly, Ernest informs us about the cur­rent indus­try projects he is work­ing on.
