Robert Bassey is the Founder and Principal of AAM Blueprint Advisory and a nationally recognized specialist in Advanced Air Mobility infrastructure, FAA strategy, and emerging-aircraft deployment.
Before launching AAM Blueprint Advisory, Robert spent more than 15 years with the FAA Office of Airports, where he helped lead the agency’s early work on vertiport and emerging vertical-flight infrastructure. He authored FAA Engineering Briefs 105 and 105A — the agency’s initial and updated national vertiport design guidance — and led development toward a more performance-based framework for next-generation aircraft infrastructure.
Robert also represented the United States in international heliport and vertical-flight infrastructure standards work, contributing to ICAO efforts addressing heliport and emerging AAM infrastructure.
Today, through AAM Blueprint Advisory, Robert works with aircraft manufacturers, infrastructure technology companies, developers, engineering firms and public-sector teams at the point where aircraft capability, infrastructure, regulation and implementation converge. His work includes aircraft-infrastructure compatibility, infrastructure criteria development, site and network readiness, regulatory positioning, evidence-development strategy and FAA engagement.
The firm’s role is straightforward: identify what the concept actually requires, distinguish real constraints from inherited assumptions, and create a credible path from technical idea to deployable aviation system.
