Highlights

• •Drones emerge as a new fossil-free mode of transport called Advanced[Air Mobility] (AAM).
• •Implementation is expected to have economic investments of €140 billion by 2035.
• •Emerging themes of AAM system are primary technology, functionality, and adoption.
• •Each of the identified themes is riddled with substantial knowledge gaps.
• •Our[policy development] framework for regional deployment provides key policy implications.

Abstract

The climate crisis demands an energy transition away from[fossil] fuels, and for the transport sector, this implies finding more electric or hydrogen-fuelled solutions. An emerging disruptive solution with high potential for improved sustainability is using drones as a mode of transport, i.e., Advanced Air Mobility for passenger and freight transport in urban and rural areas,fuelled by electricity or green hydrogen. As drones are being rapidly commercialized, there is a need for a policy framework for local and regional actors to address this in
