eVTOLs: Plug In, Charge Up, Take Off
Urban Air Mobility Will Be All About the Infrastructure
Building an advanced air mobility infrastructure takes time, capital, and cooperation.
eVTOLs: Does Mineral Madness Lurk Beyond Lithium-Ion?
Demand, and mining, for many minerals will dominate the future of transportation
The demand for mined minerals will play a large role in the future of all electric vehicles, including eVTOLs.
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.
For UAM to Succeed, the Stars Won’t Need to Align, But a Lot of Systems Will
Researchers explore UAM from a System of Systems (SoS) perspective
Researchers at the Hamburg, Germany-based German Aerospace Center, Institute of System Architectures in Aeronautics (DLR), wanted to understand how different fully electric urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft architecture might affect the overall system of systems’ (SoS’) capability. (SoS refers to a complex system composed of multiple systems that work together to achieve what can’t be…
