Riassunto

Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles represent a major advancement in aviation technology, poised to transform urban mobility and global transportation networks. This book looks at how these aircraft are being incorporated into existing and emerging aviation infrastructures worldwide. This title addresses the knowledge gap between traditional aviation practices and the innovative demands posed by eVTOL technologies and offers insights based on research and real-world applications.

This volume offers guidance for anyone involved in the design, implementation, regulation, or operation of eVTOL technologies within the evolving global aviation landscape. Exploring the subject through four distinct sections, it covers foundations and theoretical context, operations and training methodologies, economic viability and market trends, and global expansion strategies. Readers will discover specialized training approaches, operational protocols, human-machine interface considerations, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder collaboration strategies essential for successful implementation. Featuring 20 international case studies from organizations including the FAA, EASA, IATA, ICAO, Airbus, Boeing, Volocopter, Archer, Lillium, Joby, and the Advanced Air Mobility Institute, this title delivers practical context for theoretical concepts, thus equipping readers with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of this technological advancement through a human-centric approach.

Written for a diverse audience, Advanced Air Mobility: Human Factors, Ecosystem Readiness, and the Integration of eVTOLs is for professionals and students in the fields of aviation management, human factors engineering, regulatory affairs, logistics, manufacturing, safety investigation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and airport operations.
