Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) encompasses a range of innovative and technological changes to aviation (electric aircraft, increasingly automated aircraft, increasingly automated airspace operations, etc.) that are transforming aviation’s role in every- day movement of people and goods. The Urban Air Mobility (UAM) concept covers a subset of the AAM concepts, namely those that provide air-taxi services to the public over densely populated cities and the urban periphery, including flying be- tween local, regional, intra-regional, and urban locations. UAM envisages a future in which advanced technologies and new operational procedures enable practical, cost-effective air transport as an integrated mode of movement of people and goods in metropolitan areas. In this document, UAM operations are further scoped by those which are enabled by revolutionary new electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft designs that are now becoming feasible. |
