Advanced Air Mobility in rural areas

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is an aviation concept that develops and implements innovative aviation technologies to improve the safety, sustainability and efficiency of aviation. This applies to both urban air mobility (UAM) and regional air mobility (RAM).

Increasing urbanization is exacerbating the socio-economic disparities between urban and rural areas, which can lead to difficulties in terms of infrastructural connections and supply in rural areas. Local and long-distance public transport connections with trains and buses are often limited and deliveries of goods are very time-consuming. As a result, the quality of supply for people and companies in rural areas suffers. Drones are already being used for agricultural purposes in rural areas. They measure fields and use thermal imaging cameras to detect and warn of deer and other animals hiding in the field.

Potential of drones through advanced air mobility

In addition, unmanned air traffic could also resolve other difficulties in rural areas. Drones are one way of compensating for socio-economic disparities. The following concept is conceivable for supplying goods using drones. The goods are delivered to a central distribution center and then transported directly to the customer in a targeted and fast manner using drones. This type of supply is not only fast, but also improves the CO2 balance thanks to the electrification of the drones thanks to Advanced Air Mobility. Demand-driven delivery can be made possible by drones with location flexibility. Drones can also be used as part of the RAM to transport people to hard-to-reach places.
