Urban air mobility is a rapidly growing field of research. While drones or unmanned aerial vehicles have been operated mainly in the private and military sector past, an increasing range opportunities opening up for commercial applications. A new multitude passenger-carrying drone taxi concepts promises to fulfill dream flying above congested urban areas. early research has focusing on vehicle development, solutions traffic management are lagging behind. This paper collects reviews main...
Abstract Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a new air transportation system for passengers and cargo in urban environments, enabled by technologies integrated into multimodal systems. The vision of UAM comprises the mass use suburban complementing existing systems contributing to decarbonization transport sector. Initial attempts create market last century failed due lack profitability community acceptance. Technological advances numerous fields over past few decades have led renewed interest...
Abstract Facing the continued growth of cities, introduction urban-air mobility intends to reduce traffic congestion and improve quality services such as on-demand-transport, reduced travel times increased connectivity. Nevertheless, its integration into existing air-traffic flows remains one biggest challenges ahead, especially once controlled airspace overlaps with areas, at airport control zones. Here, needs coordinate amobng vehicles conventional air traffic. In 2022, DLR conducted a...

The project "HorizonUAM – Urban Air Mobility Research at German Aerospace Center (DLR)" provides first answers to this vision by pooling existing competencies individual institutes within DLR. HorizonUAM combines research about air mobility (UAM) vehicles, corresponding infrastructure, operation UAM...
Abstract Despite large and successful efforts to keep wildlife off airports, many collisions between aircraft animals still happen at low altitudes outside the airport boundaries, where is most abundant. These strikes are especially threatening for departing from airports as well envisioned low-flying urban air mobility aircraft. The here presented study evaluates operational feasibility of a concept provide tower traffic controllers with strike risk information contribute in reduction these...
Abstract Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has emerged as a potential game changer for urban transportation, promising faster, more efficient and affordable services. However, beyond the visionary concepts, it is crucial to explore discuss opportunities challenges of UAM vertidrome operations also from research perspective. The DLR project HorizonUAM aimed at holistic approach in which vertidromes networks play significant role. This centered report covers various aspects methodological approaches...
Bird strike prevention in civil aviation has traditionally focused on the airport perimeter. Since risk of especially damaging bird strikes outside boundaries is rising, this paper investigates safety potential operational involving pilots and controllers. In such a concept, controllers would be equipped with advisory system, allowing them to delay departures which are most vulnerable consequences case high risk. An initial study shown strong concept prevent perfect movement prediction. This...
The number and rate of wildlife strikes continue to increase worldwide. More than 30 years strike data indicate that approximately 92% for commercial aircraft occur at or below 3500 ft above ground level. Since urban air mobility (UAM) operations are envisioned carry cargo passengers up an altitude 4000 level, UAM will face increased exposure risks throughout their operations. Moreover, the comparatively small size aircraft, proposed cruising speeds 170 kt, quieter electric engines expected...
Abstract Urban air mobility is one approach to reduce congested road traffic and door-to-door travel times. Introducing these vehicles into the urban areas challenges control once designated corridors interfere with zone of an airport. In this paper, it evaluated how performance controllers affected by airtaxi operations in given example Hamburg Moreover, assessed whether enhanced airside situation display showing routes labels able counteract adverse impacts on workload awareness. As a...

Involving air traffic controllers and pilots into the bird strike prevention process is considered an essential step to increase aviation avian safety. Prior implementing operational measures such as real-time warning systems, it vital evaluate their feasibility. This paper studies efficacy of a advisory system for control. In addition potential safety benefit, possible impact on airport operations analyzed. To this end, previously developed collision avoidance algorithm underlying was...
Annually, thousands of birds collide with aircraft. The impact usually has lethal consequences for the bird, involved aircraft can experience severe damage. highest bird strike risk occurs at low altitudes. Therefore, within airport area as well adjacent approach and departure corridors are especially vulnerable to collisions birds. To analyse risk-reducing measures in these areas, a fast-time simulation environment was developed. An open-source Air Traffic Management simulator enhanced...
