Overview

After landing at the airport, you hail an on-demand vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft on your favorite ride-share app. Twenty minutes later you are briefing your client downtown, saving you two hours in rush hour and ultimately shortening your time away from home. By using the third dimension, altitude, urban air mobility (UAM) has the potential to bypass surface road congestion, revolutionize local economies and significantly improve the quality of life for commuters and residents.

Today’s advances in technology: communications, surveillance, navigation, and automated flow management systems along with electrification technology, hybrid propulsion systems, materials, and vertical take-off and landing vehicles are all major enablers to such an on-demand urban mobility system.

This workshop will lay out the opportunities and challenges of UAM for service providers to consider in developing and fielding the first fully integrated communications, navigation and surveillance and air traffic management system to support UAM.
