Artificial Intelligence and Urban Air Mobility
UAM + AI = A Winning Combination?
In director Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 dystopian film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Man (astronaut, Dr. Dave Bowman) and Machine (the spaceship’s computer system, the “heuristically programmed algorithmic computer system” aka HAL) face off over control of the ship and the astronaut’s fate. As HAL’s artificial intelligence (AI) system develops a “mind of its own,” HAL’s interests…
Can You Afford a Flying Car?
(Probably Not.)
When will the cost of flying cars (VTOLs) be affordable? It may be a moot point.
UAM By the Numbers in the EU
EASA Survey Says…
The European Aviation and Space Agency (EASA) surveyed EU citizens and found they, in general, had positive feelings about integrating urban air mobility into their lives.
UAS Deconfliction: A Strategic Plan
As millions of drones take to the air, how do we keep them from crashing?
The sky’s the limit, as the saying goes. Well, as it turns out, with millions of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) soon to take to the air for everything from small package delivery to surveillance and military actions, the sky is, in fact, limited. To prepare, aviation regulators around the globe are setting the stage —…
From Urban Air Mobility to Interplanetary Mobility
Newly Identified Flying Objects: VTOLs Not Yet on the Radar
The U.S. Department of Defense recently confirmed that photos and videos taken by U.S. Navy personnel in March 2019, and subsequently leaked to the press, are legitimate images the Navy pilots shot of “unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).” The videos show acorn-shaped aircraft with capabilities beyond anything known to the U.S., its allies, or adversaries. As…
