Urban Air Mobility (UAM)
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) envisions a safe and efficient aviation transportation system that will use highly automated aircraft to operate and transport passengers or cargo at lower altitudes within urban and suburban areas.
UAM will be composed of an ecosystem that considers the evolution and safety of the aircraft, operational framework, access to airspace, infrastructure development, and community engagement.
