UTM for UAM: Avoiding an eVTOL carmaggedon in the sky
Stay tuned: We are changing our name to AAM Today (aam.today) in the weeks ahead.
When our eVTOLs, crewed or uncrewed, take to the urban skies in our eVTOLs, it won’t be Tinkerbell our instruments will be looking to avoid hitting. NASA’s February 2024 report, “Computing Proximity to Threat Along Uncertain Trajectory to Support Urban Air Mobility,” identifies the complex, challenging environment that aircraft operators, urban traffic management (UTM) system…
Value Proposition: How Much Will the eVTOL Market Be Worth Around 2030?
It Depends on Who You Ask
The eVTOL market could be worth anywhere between US$11.5 billion and US$41 billion.
Urban Air Mobility Will Stretch Pilot Fatigue Management in New Ways
Short-haul, multiple takeoffs and landings per day, and revolutionary, new eVTOL technologies will test pilot’s resilience in radically new ways.
Imagine yourself a taxi driver in New York City, London, Berlin, or Tokyo; dozens, maybe hundreds of trips in an 8-, 10-, maybe even 12-hour day. You’re doing what you can, as the movie Cabaret song said, to “earn a mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound.” Now, flash-forward to 2027 or 2030 and…
Urban Air Mobility: When It Comes to the Public’s eVTOL Attitudes, It’s Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other
The March 2024 Issue of Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives published on Science Direct offers some advanced perspective on how the public-at-large will cotton to this whole ‘flying cars’ thing about to be unleashed on them (It’s kind of a ‘ready-or-not’ here we come kind of thing.). Researchers from Technische Universität Berlin, Hamid Mostofi, Tobias Biehle, Robin Kellermann, and Hans-Liudger Dienel presented their…
