Building Better eVTOL Batteries for UAM
through 500 cycles, theGen-2 system displayed signs of polarization and capacity loss, particularly during high-rate hover and descent phases of operations. By comparison, the dual-salt electrolyte system was stable retaining capacity and exhibiting low polarization potentials through the flight cycle.
Droneports: Will Society Develop a NIMBY Approach?
Researchers in Finland, funded by the EU, are proposing a multi-stakeholder approach to smoothly integrate UAVs and their launch and liftoff sites into the Baltic region.
Drones: Split Personalities with the Power to Good or Evil
Stay tuned, we are changing our name to AAM Today (AAM.Today) in the coming weeks. There is a drone coming to a location near you soon – if, in fact, one hasn’t already done so. In 2021, U.S. retail behemoth, Walmart, in partnership with Zipline, under a special exemption granted by the U.S. Federal…
Call It K-UAM
Incheon’s mayor, Jeong-bok Yoo, is spearheading an initiative to prepare, adapt, and integrate urban air mobility into the fabric of this metropolis of roughly 3 million people. The city has published the Advanced Air Mobility Concept of Operations for Incheon Metropolitan City. The 46-page pamphlet lays out the city’s vision to bring UAM online by…
The Right Stuff: Manufacturing a UAV Sandwich
“… composite materials were optimal to build a lightweght, low-altitude endurance (LALE) hybrid VTOL UAV.”
UTM for UAM: Avoiding an eVTOL carmaggedon in the sky
When our eVTOLs, crewed or uncrewed, take to the urban skies in our eVTOLs, it won’t be Tinkerbell our instruments will be looking to avoid hitting. NASA’s February 2024 report, “Computing Proximity to Threat Along Uncertain Trajectory to Support Urban Air Mobility,” identifies the complex, challenging environment that aircraft operators, urban traffic management (UTM) system…
A US$260 Billion Global Drone Market by 2033?
The drone market will experience astronomical growth between now and 2033.
Value Proposition: How Much Will the eVTOL Market Be Worth Around 2030?
The eVTOL market could be worth anywhere between US$11.5 billion and US$41 billion.
