Pivotal, Viasat, Archer and Horizon Aircraft amongst winners at eVTOL Insights’ 2025 Global AAM Awards in Palo Alto

With more than 150 entries sub­mit­ted ahead of its dead­line, del­e­gates attend­ing eVTOL Insights’ North Amer­i­ca Con­fer­ence Con­fer­ence in Palo Alto were able to see in per­son who would pick up a tro­phy at this year’s Glob­al AAM Awards.

Tak­ing place after its indus­try con­fer­ence yes­ter­day (Thurs­day), the awards were first launched last year as a way to recog­nise and cel­e­brate the incred­i­ble work being done by com­pa­nies, teams and indi­vid­u­als in the Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty mar­ket.

eVTOL Insights’ founder Simon Cor­bett was on hand to announce the win­ners to the audi­ence.
