It’s 2023: Do You Know What the State of Urban Air Mobility Is?
Researchers around the globe are exploring the challenges and potential benefits of UAM.
Me, eVTOL. You, Pilot. Now, What?
Trends in pilot interfaces
Researchers are seeing common trends in eVTOL pilot interfaces.
eVTOL Noises Off (Or at Least Significantly Quieter)
Getting eVTOL technologies off the ground will be easy compared to getting communities to accept the noise they generate.
Reducing the impact of ambient noise eVTOLs will generate will be one of the keys to the implementation of successful UAM/AAM commercial operations.
Teaching eVTOL Batteries to Teach Themselves to Self-Diagnose
The lithium-ion batteries at the heart of the eVTOL revolution will be tasked with performance gymnastics unlike those asked of any electric-powered vehicles in history. Start. Stop. Take off. Fly. Land. And then . . . do it again. And again. The batteries will discharge power and need to be recharged dozens of times a…
Weather or Not – AAM Operators Need to Know
The ability to predict variations in temperature, visibility, wind, and cloud cover will impact AAM operations and profitability.
As advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) operators prepare for takeoff, perhaps the one constant they can count on is weather. From hot today to chilly tomorrow, eVTOL operations are especially sensitive to weather. Scientists and researchers, Ashima Sharma, Jay Patrikar, Brady Moon, Sebastian Scherer, and Constantine Samaras conducted a study sponsored…
