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...
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...
Growing political pressure and widespread social concerns about climate change are triggering a paradigm shift in the aviation sector. Projects with target of reducing aviation’s CO2 emissions their impact on being launched to improve currently used procedures. In this paper, new coordination process between aircraft flight management systems (FMSs) an arrival manager (AMAN) was investigated enable fuel-efficient more sustainable approaches. This posed two major challenges. Firstly, current...
The demand for air transportation service using Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is expected to increase in the future saving travel times urban areas. An adequate set of services airspace network management supporting their operations will be then needed. Despite numerous emerging topics UAM being widely researched, an analysis this need yet explored. A multitude stakeholders involved novel industry are studying different concepts. These concepts designed with perspective and background, tailored...
Seamless airspace is a long-cherished goal targeted by Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) alongside other stakeholders. Since decades, fragmentation has been identified as one of the main barriers for delivering more flexible and sector-independent Traffic Services (ATS) operations. It also recognized to be causes Management (ATM) system's inefficiency, especially from economic point view. To remedy this its negative impact, an increasing amount possible solutions ideas being...

After COVID-19, a full recovery compared to the 2019 situation with subsequent growth of global air traffic is expected for next three six years [1]. Regarding carbon dioxide emissions, Coronavirus lockdown helped environment bounce back, but this will be temporary situation. It important continue investigating additional mitigation measurements achieve long-term environmental benefits, especially after recovery. At that point, question how reduce aviation's impact on climate change...
