Australia's unique geographical layout, combining sprawling coastal cities and remote outback communities, has positioned it as an ideal testbed for advanced air mobility (AAM) innovations. The nation's regulator, Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), known for pioneering regulations in civil remotely piloted air vehicles, is now at the forefront of approving electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and other non-conventional aircraft. Several promising AAM start-ups are emerging, including AMSL and Stralis. AMSL, based in Sydney, is developing the Vertiia, a hybrid hydrogen- and battery-powered vertical take-off aircraft designed for medical evacuation. The company, with successful test flights powered by batteries, plans to conduct hydrogen-fuelled flights and aims for certification by 2027. AMSL's focus on longer-distance medevac and its innovative design set it apart in the industry. Stralis, based in Brisbane, is working on a hydrogen-electric propulsion system for retrofitting existing general aviation aircraft. With a lightweight hydrogen fuel cell powered by liquid hydrogen, Stralis aims to revolutionize sustainable aviation. The company recently achieved a milestone by conducting Australia's first hydrogen-electric-powered propeller spin and aims for a hydrogen-powered flight in 2023. Both companies highlight Australia's potential as a hub for aviation innovation, with AMSL targeting expansion into neighboring territories and Stralis aspiring to collaborate on a new 50-seat clean-sheet aircraft. The country's supportive regulatory environment, coupled with a growing interest in sustainable transport solutions, bodes well for the future of AAM in Australia.
