Abstract:
The introduction of urban air mobility by means of electric vehicles capable of vertical takeoff and landing represents a major transformation of civil aviation. As traffic density increases in urban areas, novel requirements are introduced to guarantee safe operations, most notably in the EASA SC-VTOL specification. We present an automated process for generating trajectories considering such regulatory requirements and associated operational procedures while optimizing for energy efficiency. Th...     »
