UTM for UAM: Avoiding an eVTOL carmaggedon in the sky
Stay tuned: We are changing our name to AAM Today (aam.today) in the weeks ahead.
When our eVTOLs, crewed or uncrewed, take to the urban skies in our eVTOLs, it won’t be Tinkerbell our instruments will be looking to avoid hitting. NASA’s February 2024 report, “Computing Proximity to Threat Along Uncertain Trajectory to Support Urban Air Mobility,” identifies the complex, challenging environment that aircraft operators, urban traffic management (UTM) system…
A US$260 Billion Global Drone Market by 2033?
Mapping, surveying, package delivery, crop dusting, energy, cargo; when you’re an UAV, it all adds up. And up. And up.
The drone market will experience astronomical growth between now and 2033.
Value Proposition: How Much Will the eVTOL Market Be Worth Around 2030?
It Depends on Who You Ask
The eVTOL market could be worth anywhere between US$11.5 billion and US$41 billion.
Angry Birds: eVTOLs Need a Standard to Certify Vulnerabilities from Bird Strikes
More than 90% of bird strikes occur at 3,000 feet above ground level — precisely where most eVTOLs will fly.
In Urban Air Mobility – Especially in Urban Air Mobility – Time Is Money
Real-Time On-the-Fly Motion Planning Can Save Pilots Pax, and UAM Operators Time and Money
Your pax are onboard, you departed on-time. Your route was clear, weather was perfect and then – a geofence gets put up literally out of the clear blue sky. You want to minimize your snap trajectory and your trajectory but that’s easier said than done. Or it was, until a cohort of researchers from Cranfield…
