The prospect of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a revolution in terms of air transportation technologies as well as enriching the multi-modal transport in large cities and metropolitan regions.

Urban Air Mobility encompasses a very broad mission range, from emergency to taxing and monitoring. All these missions have the common denominator in the shortening of the travel duration with on-demand point-to-point transport by direct air routes.

The backbone of UAM is the innovative use of eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle technology. With its unique flexibility, this technology can offer unprecedented promptness for prioritized transport and services in metropolitan areas with high traffic density, escaping the often-congested traffic at the surface.

In just the last few years, the eVTOL sector has shown impressive progress with several major companies having already reached the level of demonstrator and now racing for certification. All proposed solutions are electrically powered and with the uppermost attention to noise emissions. Therefore the respect of the environment and communities. The advancements of eVTOL technology can also be regarded as a catalyst to accelerate the development of sustainable aviation concepts for short to medium route (e.g. regional air mobility) based on electric flight.
