NASA remotely administered a psychoacoustic test in fall of 2022 as the first of two phases of a cooperative Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle noise human response study. The development of the remote test method to study human response to aviation noise was prompted by the novel coronavirus pandemic. ...The implementation phase will use the remote test platform and leverage the cooperation of multiple government agencies, academia, and industry to assemble a wide range of UAM vehicle sounds. This database of sounds will be used to create a rich database of human response to UAM noise that would be challenging for a single organization to acquire. ...This database of sounds will be used to create a rich database of human response to UAM noise that would be challenging for a single organization to acquire. This paper details the results from remotely administering the Feasibility Test.

In its report, Deloitte points to an ongoing challenge to manage and regulate an increasingly diverse airspace and overcome significant psychological barriers of consumers.

Through the partnership, Honeywell Aerospace plans to integrate its current avionics, navigation, fly-by-wire technologies into Vertical Aerospace’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles.

The partnership will accelerate the development of inertial measurement units, attitude heading reference solutions, and other technologies established under Europe's Clean Sky 2 and Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research (SESAR) 2020 industry and government collaboration programs.

The electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) revolution is gaining momentum, as evidenced by the unveiling of the Bell Nexus hybrid-electric VTOL air taxi concept at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), affirms Mike Hirschberg, executive director at the Vertical Flight Society (VFS), a non-profit organization working to advance vertical flight, in Fairfax, Virginia.

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles are set to revolutionize the mobility of man and material in near future. One of the key areas to explore is how operational efficiency can be maximized through the next generation Maintenance framework. ...One of the key areas to explore is how operational efficiency can be maximized through the next generation Maintenance framework. The UAM operational models may fundamentally change how aircraft maintenance is conducted. An important aspect of UAM is low altitude flying. ...An important aspect of UAM is low altitude flying. This enables cellular technologies to be leveraged for air-to-ground as well as air-to-air communication.

Urban air mobility (UAM) refers to urban transportation systems that move people by air. UAM offers the potential for reducing traffic congestion in cities and providing an integrated approach to urban mobility. ...Unsettled Issues Concerning Urban Air Mobility Infrastructure discusses the infrastructure requirements to effectively integrate UAM services into the overarching urban transportation system to enable multimodal trips and complete origin to destination travel.

This test investigated whether sound quality metrics (tonality, sharpness, etc.) may be useful for predicting noise-induced annoyance to notional sounds of Urban-Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles (“air taxis”, perhaps). A suite of 137 short (5 second long) samples of UAM noise was synthesized based upon aeroacoustic predictions of a NASA reference UAM quadrotor aircraft under several flight conditions. ...A suite of 137 short (5 second long) samples of UAM noise was synthesized based upon aeroacoustic predictions of a NASA reference UAM quadrotor aircraft under several flight conditions. The synthesizer had parameters that could change aspects of the sound such as, for instance, the blade-passage frequency, the balance of tonal rotor noise to broadband noise, and aspects of the motor noise.

The main aim of operating the navigation database server from ground station (Web/cloud) is to operate a single navigation database server across all aircrafts and navigation database updates can be performed at one place. which will be effective and quick, thus no need to update the navigation database in each flight for every 28 days. UAM refers to a safe and efficient air transportation system that uses transformative new airborne technology, manned and unmanned, to move people and goods in a metropolitan area, operating the navigation data base server from ground station might be the first step towards including the FMS system in urban air mobility (UAM). the proposed system can run as standalone application and provides serveries to all aircrafts from single resource; thus, the system will provide services with low cost. ...UAM refers to a safe and efficient air transportation system that uses transformative new airborne technology, manned and unmanned, to move people and goods in a metropolitan area, operating the navigation data base server from ground station might be the first step towards including the FMS system in urban air mobility (UAM). the proposed system can run as standalone application and provides serveries to all aircrafts from single resource; thus, the system will provide services with low cost.

Battery states such as state of charge (SOC), state of temperature (SOT), and state of power (SOP) are of particular interest for urban air mobility (UAM) applications. This article proposes a new safety-oriented multi-state estimation framework for collaboratively updating the SOC, SOT, and SOP of lithium-ion batteries under typical UAM mission profiles, which explicitly incorporates the underlying interplay among these three states. ...This article proposes a new safety-oriented multi-state estimation framework for collaboratively updating the SOC, SOT, and SOP of lithium-ion batteries under typical UAM mission profiles, which explicitly incorporates the underlying interplay among these three states.

This article introduces the 100-year history of flying cars, examines the current research status for UAM air buses and air taxis, and discusses the future development trend of intelligent transportation and air-to-land amphibious vehicles.

The effect of gasoline sulfur content on urban ozone was estimated using the Urban Airshed Model (UAM) and exhaust emission measurements from the Auto/Oil Air Quality Improvement Research Program (AQIRP) Phase II sulfur study.

The effect of gasoline olefin composition and content on urban ozone was estimated using the Urban Airshed Model (UAM), emission measurements for a base fuel, and projected emissions for two hypothetical fuels with reduced olefin content.

The future is expected to bring Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) vehicles, including small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS), urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles and regional air mobility (RAM) vehicles. These manned and unmanned vehicles are propelled by rotors.

Following results are cleared. 1) UAM and CIT program have the potential to predict the urban air quality in Tokyo area. 2) Major Hydrocarbon source in Tokyo area is from the painting, the contribution from vehicles is less than 10 %. 3) For the NOx emission, around 35 to 40 % of the total emission is caused by vehicles, especially Diesel. 4) Reduction of NOx emission is effective for the improvement of ozone concentrations 4) Reduction of maximum ozone concentration less than 60 ppb seems to be very hard.

Anti-jamming technologies are now being required in UAS and UAM systems in several US and international countries. Honeywell and infiniDome have jointly developed a “Robust Navigation System” that provides a multilayer resiliency against loss of GPS.
