Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past 10 years, urban and regional air mobility has developed. Many air vehicle concepts, operational and business model proposals and also safety topics, for example the European JARUS’s "SORA" concept, have spread over the world with various derivatives. Many dreams have been shattered, while others are still developing. This is a good point in time to resume the achievements and provide a condensed overall knowledge based on what we know now. This is what this Special Issue is about.
Therefore, we welcome contributions about achievements in vehicle concepts addressing single concepts or comparing various ones. Further, business models about UAM applications in various parts of the world shall be presented to demonstrate markets and limitations. Also, the operation of urban air mobility vehicles from the perspective of air traffic management shall be demonstrated. Urban air mobility infrastructure like veritport concepts and CNS infrastructures and its cost should be addressed. At last, the wide field of qualification and certification of vehicles and its operations is a major issue of this new form of mobility.
We aim for this collection of papers to provide the reader, today and in the future, a knowledge platform for progress.
