Project description
Paving the way for urban air mobility services acceptance
Urban air mobility (UAM) has the potential to overcome challenges of congestion and insufficient surface transport whilst saving infrastructure costs and time. However, making it safe, secure, green, quiet and accepted is challenging due to environmental considerations, regulations, and safety-critical technologies. Focusing on emergency-related applications, where UAM brings added value on top of current mobility solutions, the EU-funded AURORA project aims at connecting technologies and key actors to foster the adoption of UAM. The project is developing an intelligent, urban, autonomous flight solution for UAVs and a self-piloting passenger-carrying vertical take-off and landing aircraft, including autonomous selection of emergency landing sites and landing capability, integration with Very Low Level Air Traffic Management, and using GALILEO High Accuracy Service.
