EMERGENT AIR VEHICLES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Catalog description

This course examines the emerging vehicles and ground support technology that will constitute Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM). Students learn about the concepts of the vehicles that will be required to make up a safe and efficient aviation transportation system. Students study the highly automated aircraft that will operate and transport passengers or cargo at lower altitudes within urban and suburban areas. Students study UAM, which will be composed of an ecosystem that considers the evolution and safety of the aircraft, the framework for operation, access to airspace, infrastructure development and community engagement.
