The Latest Advanced Air Mobility News
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…
Ring’s New Drone Cam Comes Home
Amazon’s new Always Home Drone Cam is the latest in home security.
For Urban Air Mobility, A Picture May Be Worth Billions of Words
Researchers believe presenting storyboards of different UAM scenarios will help professionals charged with launching UAM.
eVTOLs Gone in the Wind?
More than half of weather-related aviation accidents are caused by wind. Research into how wind impacts eVTOLs is being addressed.
eVTOLs: Plug In, Charge Up, Take Off
Building an advanced air mobility infrastructure takes time, capital, and cooperation.
AAM-Gym for Artificial Intelligence Practice
Researchers have created an Advanced Air Mobility “gym” that will allow for thousands of potential simulations to improve the development of eVTOLs.
