Course detail: Urban Air Mobility System Development and Operations
Description
This course examines the development and operations of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as critical components for safely and efficiently transporting people and cargo in urban areas. Students will explore the FAA and NASA frameworks for integrating UAM operations into the National Airspace System (NAS), including the phases of initial, midterm, and mature UAM operations. Key topics covered include the role of autonomous systems in facilitating the safe integration of UAM passenger and cargo operations, as well as the contributions of government agencies, inter-agency working groups, UAM operators, infrastructure providers, eVTOL manufacturers, and communities in advancing UAM development and operations. Additionally, students will examine innovative strategies employed by industry leaders, academic institutions, and government organizations to integrate eVTOL aircraft and necessary infrastructure. The course also analyzes U.S. and global standards and regulations shaping UAM development and the operation of eVTOL aircraft within the NAS. Lastly, students will explore the essential role of vertiports, charging systems, and connectivity networks in enabling the safe and efficient integration of eVTOL aircraft into UAM operations. Throughout the course, students will engage in a comprehensive analysis of both current and future UAM system concepts, emphasizing the strategies and technologies that will drive the continued evolution of UAM.
Learning ObjectivesComprehend UAM Development and Integration - Analyze the critical elements of UAM development, including operations, infrastructure, and their role in safely and efficiently transporting people and cargo in urban areas. Interpret the FAA Framework for UAM - Explain the FAA framework for integrating UAM operations into the NAS, including the phases of initial, midterm, and mature operations. Assess the Role of Autonomous Systems in UAM - Evaluate how autonomous systems enable the safe integration of UAM passenger and cargo operations, focusing on innovative strategies and technology from industry leaders and government organizations.
