Winds of Change – A Proposal to Reconstruct Wind Flows for Urban Air Mobility
The Wind Beneath – Above, In Front of, and Behind – Your Wings. (Or Perhaps Your Rotors).
Predicting wind flows for UAM is a challenge to the safe integration of uncrewed aircraft systems into the national airspace. One researcher proposes a solution using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Reynolds-average Navier Stokes (RANS) model with current real-world observation.
Does the Public Really Want Air Taxis?
Evtols? UAVs? UAM? Tell Us How You Really Feel . . .
People have wildly different views on the future of urban air mobility (UAM). Policymakers and transport operators need to pay attention.
A Drone Militaries Can Use to Seek and Destroy or Seek and Return
To Loiter or Not to Loiter, That Is the Munitions Question of the Day
Costa Mesa, California-based Anduril Industries has literally and figuratively launched its boomerang drone bomb. Equipped with an autonomous, artificial intelligence (AI) “brain,” the Roadrunner UAV is capable of taking down a moving target midair and destroying itself on impact. Should the mission not achieve its objective, Roadrunner will turn itself around and land itself nose-up…
UAM: If We Build It, Will You Come? Will You Pay?
It Depends.
The technology behind air taxis may be ahead of people’s willingness to use them.

AI Has Come for Your Aircraft
Xwing President and CTO Maxime Gariel reveals how the aviator is unleashing AI technology to power up their aircraft
You may have noticed that our lives — our digital lives and, by extension, practically every aspect of our offline lives — are about to undergo a radical transformation not seen since the advent of the internet. That transformation is being powered by artificial intelligence (AI). AI is computers supercomputing and processing data faster and…
