HorizonUAM

The Institute of Air Transport is developing scenarios for potential market penetration by UAM by 2050. Possible use cases, missions, and vehicle concepts are discussed, and hypotheses and metrics for system validation are developed. The Institute of Air Transportation is also creating a scenario-capable forecasting methodology for the worldwide market diffusion of the Urban Air Mobility concept in order to determine demand as well as the number of vehicles and aircraft movements required - at global, national, and local levels, taking into account socio-economic, social, and geographic characteristics of metropolitan areas and countries, such as infrastructure, acceptance, regulation, economic power, and population. The results will be used, among other things, for system evaluation at the national and global levels, respectively.
