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…
