This work synthesizes global AAM development, from the Scientific Assessment for UAM to ICAO harmonization. It compares regulatory progress in key regions (e.g., US, EU, China) and addresses challenges like certification, infrastructure, and public acceptance. It concludes by proposing international research collaboration to bridge the gap to operational maturity.
