eVTOLs Gone in the Wind?
Headwinds, Tailwinds, and Crosswinds Key Concerns for Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles
More than half of weather-related aviation accidents are caused by wind. Research into how wind impacts eVTOLs is being addressed.
Let There Be LiDAR Onboard Your UAVs
It’s a Million Times Faster Than Radar
Researchers are studying how Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) systems might be used to help keep uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) safe.
How Far, How Long, Will Your Batteries Let Your eVTOL Fly?
In aviation, time is money. This is also true in UAM.
They say time is money. Perhaps nowhere is the consumer-operator more conscious of time than in aviation. Travelers worry if their flight is on-time. If departure is delayed, they worry they’ll be able to connect from one flight to another. Flight operators fret over aircraft availability, regulations dictating crew time for safe operations, and myriad…
16 Top Concerns About Urban Air Mobility
If Drones Are to Fulfill Their Many Promises, Some Concerns Need to Be Addressed First
Researchers are discovering the top issues people need addressed before they are more comfortable with urban air mobility.
AAM-Gym for Artificial Intelligence Practice
Advanced Air Mobility gets a research and development testbed
Researchers have created an Advanced Air Mobility “gym” that will allow for thousands of potential simulations to improve the development of eVTOLs.
UAVs Take Flight to Save the Sharks
You’re Gonna Need a Drone, Not a ‘Bigger Boat’
As drone technology (design, battery life, video image resolution) improves, it will help save the lives of sharks, researchers, and swimmers.
