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.
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.
What Is a Droneport?
Airport. √ Vertiport. √ Droneport? Stay tuned.
You’ve heard of airports. Society will soon be hearing more about droneports.
An Advanced Simulation for Implementation of Advanced Air Mobility
Working together, scientists from three countries plan a future for Advanced Air Mobility
Working together to hasten the safe introduction and integration of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) into the national airspaces of countries around the globe, a group of researchers from Cranfield University, Boeing Research and Technology—Europe, ANRA Technologies, Airbus-Unmanned Traffic Management, Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre, Ineco, and NTT Data, published an article, “The Development of an Advanced…
Vertiport, Vertiport, Wherefore Shall I Integrate You?
Using a GIS-Based Approach to Suss Out Suitable Vertiport Locations
Much of the discussion surrounding the integration of urban/advanced air mobility (UAM/AAM) has focused on how best to accommodate this new transportation mode into the National Air Space (NAS) of any given nation-state (such as the United States) or a supranational union of states (such as the European Union). But, to date, little consideration has…
eVTOL Batteries: Advanced Machine Learning for AAM
Delft University Researchers Provide UAM Operators a Prognostics Tool for Battery Life
If you use your mobile phone frequently, when the remaining battery life reaches 20%, the battery indicator icon in the upper right of the screen turns red. But if you’re operating your eVTOL the way many passenger-carrying operators expect to – lots of takeoffs and landings throughout the day, ferrying passengers from airports to downtown…
