Through proof-of-concept research, dynamic crash testing, collaboration, and strategic advocacy, we are helping to dismantle long-standing impediments to safety and inclusion—reshaping aviation with solutions rooted in both rigorous science and lived experience.
As the pioneering 501(c)(3) nonprofit conducting FAA-compliant testing on wheelchair securement systems, All Wheels Up is proud to help lead the advancement toward equitable air travel. We leverage insights and evidence from crash tests, collaborative research, and expert observations to drive systematic change—from policy reform to engineering solutions.
The vision includes the establishment of a federally designated Center of Excellence for Accessible Air Travel, anchored by leading research universities.
This center will conduct advanced research on restraint systems, aircraft configuration, wheelchair safety, and emerging technologies—unlocking the full potential of in-cabin accessibility for all passengers with disabilities. This includes equitable access to in-flight entertainment, onboard amenities, and aircraft restrooms, as well as the ability to egress independently, when possible, during emergency situations.
Through strategic collaboration, shared data, bold innovation, and public education, we are building awareness and shifting perceptions around disability and air travel. We are working towards an air travel industry where access is not an exception—but an operational standard. One in which every passenger, regardless of ability, can fly safely, confidently, independently, and without compromise. A future where inclusion is not just accommodated—but fully realized at 30,000 feet.
