"Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) refers to an advanced transportation system that uses airspace to move people and goods more efficiently.
This concept encompasses a variety of aircraft, including UAS, drones, air cabs and other types of unmanned and manned aircraft and systems.
"Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)
Here are some key aspects of Advanced Air Mobility:
Electric and hybrid propulsion systems: Many AAM vehicles use electric or hybrid propulsion systems. These are not only more environmentally friendly than traditional combustion engines, but also enable quieter and more efficient flights.
Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL): The majority of AAM vehicles are designed for vertical take-off and landing. This enables them to operate in urban or confined spaces where conventional fixed-wing aircraft cannot be used.
Autonomy: Many AAM concepts include some degree of autonomy. Autonomous or semi-autonomous flight systems can reduce the need for human pilots and increase safety by reducing human error.
Integration into the urban space: AAM aims to integrate seamlessly into existing and future urban transportation systems. This includes the development of infrastructure such as vertiports and integration into existing transportation systems.
Regulation and safety: Safety is a key concern in the development of AAM. This requires new regulatory frameworks and safety standards to be developed by aviation authorities worldwide.
Areas of application: AAM could be used in a variety of areas, including passenger transportation, delivery services, emergency medical services and more.
Discussion and innovation: The concepts of ADVANCED AIR MOBILITY are used to discuss fundamental issues relating to this new dimension of mobility. Topics such as the design of airspace for drones, the launch of air cabs, eVTOLs (electrically powered vertical take-off and landing aircraft) in European cities, sustainable mobility and safety issues are the focus.
Drone technology: UAS (unmanned aerial systems) are already being used in various areas and offer new business models as well as more service, convenience and safety.
Areas of application for Dohnen:
Inspection: Drones can be used to inspect technical installations that are difficult to access, such as wind turbines, bridges or dams.
Deliveries over the last mile: In urban areas, drones can be used for the fast and low-emission delivery of time-critical goods such as organs or medicines.
Agriculture: Drones enable more precise farming by providing detailed ground data for precision farming.
Airborne passenger transport: As the urban population grows, air cabs and electrically powered multicopters will revolutionize urban mobility. The integration of these vehicles into the airspace and the necessary infrastructure and certification are current challenges.
Security concepts: The increasing use of drones also poses security challenges, particularly with regard to unauthorized intrusion into no-fly zones. Industry and security authorities are working on concepts to detect and defend against drones in such cases.
U-Space: UAS of every category must be gradually integrated into general air traffic in order to minimize friction losses and avoid project failures. There must be explicitly no special regulations, only processes and procedures that are tested and adopted in a standardized manner. One of the concepts for implementing this objective is U-Space. A European airspace element in which specific procedures for UAS enable their integration.
USSP: Within a U-Space, a USSP (U-Space Service Provider) takes on various service tasks for the drone operators. These include network identification, geo-sensitization, flight approval and the provision of air situation information.
Advanced Air Mobility is still in the early stages of development, but it has the potential to fundamentally change the way we travel and transport goods, especially in urban areas.
From the perspective of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH with the Bremen USSP UAS control center, "Advanced Air Mobility" involves the integration of manned and unmanned systems.
