Urban Air Mobility Needs a New Wind Flow Model to Fly Right
From Chicago to Wellington, wind flows will challenge UAM operators
The study revealed a host of factors which impact urban wind flow. These include: diurnal variations, the Coriolis effect, geographic positioning, topography, surface roughness, flow incidence angle, building and street configurations, building aspect ratios, roof shapes, and building heights.
Building Better eVTOL Batteries for UAM
Two Salts are Better Than One
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?
EU Researchers propose a plan to ease the planning and development of landing and launch sites
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
Agencies, educators, and private enterprise are leading way to bring a ‘positive spin’ to the work rotor-driven drones do.
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…
Supercharged: Do Your eVTOL Batteries Have What It Takes – to Land Safely?
Old cells, new cells, cold weather, warm weather, pulse power
A novel approach to battery capacity testing and management to yield better performance and safer operations for eVTOL operations.
