From Urban Air Mobility to the Low-Altitude Economy

From Urban Air Mobility to the Low-Altitude Economy: Concepts, Confluence, and Challenges

offers a rigorous overview of the emerging low-altitude economy, focusing on the scientific, technological, and regulatory aspects of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

The book begins with foundational concepts of UAM and the low-altitude economy and then covers integration strategies, safety, and emerging technologies.

It then presents industry experiences and case studies on cargo, passenger transport, emergency services, environmental surveillance, military operations, and more.

The final section discusses challenges in transitioning to the low-altitude economy, including technological, regulatory, economic aspects, and more.

This resource benefits aviation industry professionals, urban planners, and transportation engineers seeking to integrate eVTOL and UAM systems.

Aerospace engineers and sustainability experts gain insights into technological innovations and environmental considerations.

Academic researchers and graduate students in aerospace engineering, computer science, and data science will find comprehensive knowledge on the evolving urban air mobility landscape and its economic impacts.
