Abstract
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) refers to a system of passenger and cargo air-transportation vehicles within an urban area that is currently being designed to reduce demands for surface transportation. Their success depends on whether many obstacles to UAM operations are overcome. An important challenge to UAM success is the inability of the current air traffic management system to manage urban airspace, and new procedures and operating concepts are needed for coordination of UAM vehicles with existing commercial airspace traffic. Moreover, all systems currently under development initially will require remote or onboard pilots, and these pilots will need significant training to become certified for UAM operations. To evaluate ATM concepts of operation, cockpit interfaces and operator performance, we are developing a UAM vehicle and simulation environment.
