Abstract

Advances in battery and electric propulsion technology facilitate urban air mobility (UAM), the use of vehicles with the capability for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) for intraurban passenger transport missions. While numerous companies are developing the next generation of VTOL vehicles, key aspects surrounding the concept of UAM remain to be analyzed and understood. In a preliminary overview, initial research could identify the main factors of passenger acceptance and potential passengers’ value of time, demonstrate first UAM modeling approaches, and present potential spatial and welfare effects of UAM implementations. Though an overview can be derived, further research opportunities are required and are being laid out for gaining a more thorough understanding of urban air mobility.
