urban air mobility
Urban air mobility (UAM) refers to the use of small, electric aircraft to transport people and goods within urban areas. This innovative transportation system aims to reduce traffic congestion on roads and provide faster travel options. UAM vehicles, often referred to as eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), are designed to operate in densely populated regions.
The development of UAM is supported by advancements in technology, including autonomous flight systems and battery efficiency. Various companies and organizations are working on UAM projects, with the goal of integrating these aircraft into existing transportation networks, enhancing urban mobility, and promoting sustainable travel solutions.
