When the stakes are real, you fall back on your foundational principles. At SkyGrid, our core values serve as the operating system behind every single decision. They define:

🔹 How we build together
🔹 How we treat one another
🔹 How we deliver for our customers when it matters most

Proud to be building the future alongside a team that lives these values every day.

Proud to see SkyGrid’s Brandon Lint leading the conversation on scaling autonomous aviation at .

As Advanced Air Mobility moves from vision to implementation, building the right digital foundation will be critical to scaling operations safely. From traffic management and interoperability to information sharing and automation, the industry has an opportunity to create a more connected and resilient airspace ecosystem.

Thank you to GUTMA and the panelists for bringing together perspectives from across the APAC region to explore what it will take to turn that vision into reality.

Join us for a webinar hosted by EUROCONTROL. As highly automated aircraft transition from concept to reality, traditional flight rules must evolve. We’ll discuss how purpose-built Automated Flight Rules (AFR), designed specifically for aircraft with automated conflict management capabilities, can enable the routine airspace integration of these aircraft and unlock additional performance benefits.

Q3 was one for the books! This quarter, we:

🤝 Announced our acquisition by Archer, along with Wisk Aero and Insitu Inc.

✈️ Attended the Texas Department of Transportation senate hearing in Austin and the Texas eIPP kickoff in Fort Wort Worth

🌐 Completed a joint simulation at Wisk with the Federal Aviation Administration Tech Center, where remotely piloted operations in Houston airspace were evaluated using an optimized route network designed to reduce ATC workload

⚽️ Enjoyed various team building events, including an evening out to support Austin FC

We’re excited to keep working towards a safe and integrated airspace.

Modeling flight plan uncertainty usually creates a clear operational bottleneck. Strategic planners must choose between slow Monte Carlo simulations and simplified models that overstate risk and restrict airspace capacity.

Repurposing a linear Kalman Filter to model continuous Flight Management System (FMS) corrections fixes this gap. The framework generates realistic uncertainty profiles in under a second, eliminating over-conservative estimates without sacrificing accuracy.

Testing how autonomous eVTOLs handle real airspace traffic, active air traffic controllers, and unexpected weather is critical to getting these aircraft into the sky safely.

In our recent simulation with Wisk Aero and the Federal Aviation Administration Tech Center, we tested uncrewed aircraft operations in complex Houston airspace alongside real air traffic control environments. SkyGrid provided the fleet management software and secure connectivity needed to give everyone involved a single, shared view of the airspace.

We recently shared our latest work with the Federal Aviation Administration's William J. Hughes Technical Center for Advanced Aerospace and SkyGrid, testing autonomous eVTOL operations in complex Houston airspace.

By connecting our Gen 6 aircraft in the Autonomy Lab directly with the FAA's National Airspace System (NAS) "digital twin," we tested real-world conditions, evaluating how autonomous eVTOLs interact with active air traffic controllers, existing NAS traffic, and challenging weather scenarios.

The work is helping us refine how autonomous aircraft can safely integrate into the NAS and informing the tools and procedures needed for future commercial operations.

Why is GNSS signal integrity one of the biggest safety hurdles for Advanced Air Mobility?

Autonomous aircraft operate at low altitudes in dense urban environments and depend on satellite positioning, making them vulnerable to two signal threats:
1️⃣ Jamming: Floods the signal with noise, forcing a complete loss of positioning.
2️⃣ Spoofing: Broadcasts false location data, which spreads across automated flight systems without a pilot to catch the error.

As part of the VARIANT Project, Dimetor explores how we can solve this by leveraging existing telecom networks to monitor interference in real time. By integrating this detection data directly into SkyGrid's airspace management systems, we can connect the full chain from threat alerting to flight planning and contingency management, ensuring safe operations even when GNSS signals are degraded.

Boeing Aerospace Spain, SkyGrid and Dimetor GmbH will collaborate on a three-year project to address exactly this challenge. The collaboration will integrate

To safely integrate high-density Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations into shared airspace, flight planning systems need reliable estimates of position and arrival time variance under real-world conditions.

In our technical paper, "Kalman Filtering Based Flight Management System Modeling for AAM Aircraft," SkyGrid’s autonomy engineers present an updated Kalman Filter model that realistically simulates how an aircraft's flight management system corrects errors along its route. By adapting filter trust based on waypoint progress and control inputs, the approach improves arrival time predictions and supports automated flight plan validation.
