Market Pulse

The AAM & UAV market, tracked.

A live, honest snapshot of advanced air mobility — every figure below is drawn directly from the AAM Blue Book database of 65 aircraft across 59 manufacturers. We publish only what we can verify: model counts, category mix, development stage, propulsion, and manufacturer pricing.

Aircraft by category

How the 65 tracked aircraft distribute across the emerging market's vehicle classes.

Price landscape

Manufacturer starting price (MSRP) ranges per category, from the 51 of 65 aircraft with published pricing. These are manufacturer list prices — not resale or evaluated market values.

Development & certification stage

Where tracked aircraft sit on the path to market — from early development to a full airworthiness type certificate.

  • Type Certified2
  • Fielded / In Service12
  • In Certification19
  • In Development26
  • Experimental & Ultralight6

Stages are manufacturer self-reported and updated as programs progress. Only Type Certified reflects an airworthiness type certificate from a civil aviation authority (FAA / EASA / CAAC). Fielded / In Service means the aircraft is commercially available or operating (including NDAA / Blue UAS procurement status) — it is not a certification claim by AAM Trader.

Propulsion mix

The energy story of advanced air mobility — electric, hybrid, hydrogen, and combustion.

Tracking over time

We began recording daily market snapshots on 2026-07-03. Honest trend lines appear here once we have at least two days to compare — no fabricated growth figures.

How we source this

Every figure is live

Counts, category mix, pricing ranges, development stage, and propulsion are computed directly from the published AAM Blue Book — no hardcoded or estimated numbers.

We show only what we can verify

Prices shown are manufacturer MSRP. Evaluated resale values are still being built— we never publish an estimate we can't stand behind.

Built for AAM, not adapted

Purpose-built for eVTOL, eSTOL, UAM and UAV / RPA — the emerging classes legacy aviation guides don't track.
