The Latest Advanced Air Mobility News
Advanced Air Mobility — By the Numbers in 2023
The latest statistics for the rapidly growing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) market.
Recharging Your eVTOLs – Midair
Swapping batteries midair, or more precisely, as NASA engineers describe their plan, “Energy Augmentation Concepts for Advanced Air Mobility Vehicles,” (EACAAMV) is a scheme devised by eight NASA scientists to recharge (if that’s the right word) eVTOLs in midair. Kapil Sheth, Nhan Nguyen, Seth Schisler, Todd Stinchfield, Corey Ippolito (NASA Ames Research Center), David Pike…
Do You Know Your eVTOL’s PEX Factor?
Learn how eVTOL companies can best evaluate their aircraft’s design for optimal performance through using a PEX.
The Complexities of Operating High-Density Vertiplexes and How to Automate Them
NASA is prototyping and assessing Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Ecosystems.
Will Sodium-Ion Batteries Replace Lithium-Ion Batteries . . .
The ‘e’ in eVTOLs – electric – has, from the outset of advanced air mobility (AAM) relied on lithium-ion batteries to power the aircraft. But, if scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Seattle, Washington-based Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) succeed in their efforts to develop a sodium-ion battery, the result could be a real…
It’s 2023: Do You Know What the State of Urban Air Mobility Is?
Researchers around the globe are exploring the challenges and potential benefits of UAM.
Me, eVTOL. You, Pilot. Now, What?
Researchers are seeing common trends in eVTOL pilot interfaces.
eVTOL Noises Off (Or at Least Significantly Quieter)
Reducing the impact of ambient noise eVTOLs will generate will be one of the keys to the implementation of successful UAM/AAM commercial operations.
Weather or Not – AAM Operators Need to Know
As advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) operators prepare for takeoff, perhaps the one constant they can count on is weather. From hot today to chilly tomorrow, eVTOL operations are especially sensitive to weather. Scientists and researchers, Ashima Sharma, Jay Patrikar, Brady Moon, Sebastian Scherer, and Constantine Samaras conducted a study sponsored…
