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.
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.
Call It K-UAM
Incheon, South Korea plans to integrate UAM
Incheon’s mayor, Jeong-bok Yoo, is spearheading an initiative to prepare, adapt, and integrate urban air mobility into the fabric of this metropolis of roughly 3 million people. The city has published the Advanced Air Mobility Concept of Operations for Incheon Metropolitan City. The 46-page pamphlet lays out the city’s vision to bring UAM online by…
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…
