🚁 Welcome to Part 1 of our deep dive with Rex Alexander, founder of Five-Alpha, LLC, and one of the most respected voices in the aviation world, often known as Mr. Infrastructure.

With decades of experience in military, emergency, and commercial aviation, Rex brings unmatched expertise on heliports, vertiports, and now the evolving multiport infrastructure shaping Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).

In this episode of The Ways We Move, we talk about:

✅ The evolution of heliport and vertiport standards since 2018
✅ FAA meetings with Vertical Flight Society and new direction on infrastructure policy
✅ eVTOL, eSTOL, eCTOL: Certification, integration, and harmonization challenges
✅ Land use complexities in the U.S. vs. centralized systems abroad
✅ Aligning FAA, EASA, ICAO, and global regulatory standards
✅ Why municipalities play a key role in the future of AAM

This is part one of a special two-part conversation with Rex—a true industry trailblazer and dear friend. Whether you're an AAM professional, regulator, or enthusiast, this episode is essential listening for understanding how infrastructure will make or break the industry.
