The third aviation revolution is seeking to enable transportation where users have access
to immediate and flexible air travel; the users dictate trip origin, destination and timing. One
of the major components of this vision is urban air mobility (UAM) for the masses. UAM
means a safe and efficient system for vehicles to move passengers and cargo within a city. In
order to reach UAM’s full market potential the vehicle will have to be autonomous. One of
the primary challenges of autonomous flight is dealing with off-nominal events, both common
and unforeseen; thus, intelligent contingency management (ICM) is one of the enabling
technologies. This paper proposes an ICM architecture with associated tools that would help
enable the UAM vision. |
