Interurban air mobility, as addressed in this paper, refers to air transportation activities designed for small groups of 2–6 passengers traveling relatively short distances between locations 200–300 miles apart. These first few hundred miles is where general aviation can make a big impact for business and tourist travelers, going directly where they want and when they want. This paper defends the argument that the major transformational process required to revamp the piston-engine aircraft industry will be made possible by a set of emergent, exponential technologies coalescing in the field of aviation over the next five years. The personal aircraft coming into service by 2025 will be simpler to operate and more capable than today's piston-engine aircraft because of a rare convergence of apparently unrelated technologies, mainly electric propulsion, automation, and autonomy.
