In this March 2021 image, Flight Research Inc.’s Bell OH-58C Kiowa helicopter hovered over a helipad after completing an urban air mobility (UAM) approach at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center. The Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign used the helicopter as a representative vehicle to better understand how a future UAM vehicle will need to operate in a congested urban air environment.
