What Can UAM Operators Do to Ensure They Gain Passengers’ Acceptance of Air Taxis?
Communicate, communicate, communicate
A study conducted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) reveals what is and isn’t important to gain passengers’ acceptance of urban air mobility (UAM) air taxi services. While the flights were simulated, the sentiments expressed were real. The researchers set up a mixed reality (MR) Air Taxi Simulator merging a real-world environment with a computer-generated…
So, You Want to Build a Vertiport. Here’s What It Will Cost to Build and Operate One
With AAM on the horizon, places from which to take off and land your eVTOLs and UAVs are a key component of the infrastructure
Whether for passenger transportation, package delivery, emergency services, military, civil defense missions, industrial, or agricultural purposes, the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) transportation sector in development will need departure and arrival facilities for the aircraft operating in this space. According to a report entitled “The global vertiport market map and forecast 2024–2028,” compiled by the Global AAM/UAM…

Give the People What They Want — Integrated Air Mobility-as-a-Service
Commuters expressed their commuting preferences in this study from Hiroshima University
As urban air mobility prepares for takeoff in cities around the world, it’s important to understand that this new iteration of the transportation landscape doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The people who will use the services will need to understand how to integrate it into their travel plans. To learn more about these consumers’ preferences,…
What Would a Successful AAM Air Shuttle Network Look Like?
Sufficient vertiports strategically placed may be the key
As discussions evolve around the impending introduction of advanced air mobility (AAM) into the fabric of global air transportation systems around the globe much of the dialogue has centered around the aircraft — electric vertical takeoff and landing, eVTOLs — at the heart of the revolution. But the success of AAM is about much more…
