Urban electric air mobility to ease traffic -University of California
Objective/theme
The goal of urban air mobility is to ease traffic congestion and reduce travel times
Process & benefits
- This project is part of a growing field called urban air mobility, an exciting vision enabling point-to-point, on-demand air travel within densely populated areas
- Optimization algorithms to develop methods and tools for rapidly designing safe, quiet, and affordable vehicle concepts
- Companies can use to design the optimal electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for their needs
- Researchers will use these tools to perform vehicle configuration trade studies on safety, noise, and cost
