Urban air mobility (UAM) [1] [2] is the use of small, highly automated aircraft to carry passengers or cargo at lower altitudes in urban and suburban areas which have been developed in response to traffic congestion.

Aug 31, 2023 · AAM will support a wide range of passenger, cargo, and other operations within and between urban and rural environments using new and innovative aircraft. Last updated: Thursday, August 31, 2023.

Sep 26, 2023 · Urban Air Mobility (UAM) means finding safe and efficient ways to use planes and drones for city travel and cargo delivery. This includes small packages delivered by air and other flying machines that people can control on the ground or alone.

Urban air taxi operations, also known as urban air mobility or on demand mobility applications, are enabled by vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, power and energy requirements are minimized by using low disk-loading rotors, and short range requirements permit consideration of non-traditional propulsion concepts.

Dec 4, 2024 · Urban air mobility (UAM) is an emerging transport mode, offering on-demand and automated air transit of passengers or cargo within urban ecosystems. Unrestricted by terrestrial road networks, UAM provides a timely and efficient way of transportation.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM), a subset of advanced air mobility, is a concept that envisions safe, sustainable, affordable, and accessible air transportation for passenger mobility, cargo delivery, and emergency management within or traversing a metropolitan area.

Urban Air Mobility is expected to become a reality in Europe within 3-5 years. New technologies such as electric propulsion and enhanced battery capacity, applied to vertical take-off and landing systems, make this possible.

The core benefits of urban air mobility include reduced travel times, decreased urban congestion and lower emissions. Urban air taxis can significantly reduce travel times by bypassing ground traffic and utilizing direct flight paths.

Dec 6, 2024 · Urban air mobility is a method of transportation that makes use of airspace above an urban area to move people and goods. This is primarily done through electric vertical takeoff-and-landing aircraft (eVTOLs) and drones.

Oct 11, 2023 · Urban air mobility (UAM), as defined by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), is a new, safe, secure, and more sustainable air transportation system for passengers and cargo in urban environments, enabled by new technologies and integrated into multimodal transportation systems.
