The Future of Urban Air Mobility
These are the key numbers being posited as the Urban Air Mobility industry matures between now and 2035.
Will Graphene Replace Lithium-Ion Batteries Before eVTOLs Take Off?
Graphene batteries may make eVTOLs (flying cars) a reality more quickly than lithium batteries.
The Answer to Urban Air Mobility Congestion
Heads’ up, Airbus. There’s a new air bus coming to town. Actually, it’s coming to downtown, perhaps a downtown near you. Kelekona, a New York City-based start-up, has set its sights on developing a mass transit eVTOL as big as a city bus. With a payload of 10,000 lbs. (about 4500 kg), Kelekona is aiming…
Is Low SWaP-C Radar the Key to Urban Air Mobility?
Low SWaP-C radar will facilitate the development of a feasible detect and avoid system and accelerate autonomous urban air mobility.
Artificial Intelligence and Urban Air Mobility
In director Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 dystopian film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Man (astronaut, Dr. Dave Bowman) and Machine (the spaceship’s computer system, the “heuristically programmed algorithmic computer system” aka HAL) face off over control of the ship and the astronaut’s fate. As HAL’s artificial intelligence (AI) system develops a “mind of its own,” HAL’s interests…
Can You Afford a Flying Car?
When will the cost of flying cars (VTOLs) be affordable? It may be a moot point.
