How can the traffic collapse of the global multi million cities be prevented? One way out could lead upwards: Urban air transport. By 2030, it is estimated that around 60 percent of humanity will live in cities. If it is possible to shift some of the traffic from the roads to the air, researchers believe this could help to further ensure the basic human need for mobility. But there are still some technical, social, and legal preconditions to be met.
The course gives a first introduction to the relatively new field of Urban Air Mobility, explaining the technical background as well as giving an overview of all other necessities such as air traffic management, public acceptance, and ecological sustainability.
Why this program?
If you are keen to learn and understand the concepts of Urban Air Mobility in the most practical and simple way, then this is the right course for you. As part of a newly launched Air Mobility Initiative (AMI), Bavarian companies and researchers from the Munich Aerospace research group “Urban Air Mobility” are accelerating the development of electric air transport. In this newly published online course, participants of the initiative provide insights into this exciting future field.
