“…In a UAM system, drones must not only be individually safe to operate, but still be safe when used on a mass scale. Every autonomous controlled UAS needs to have a safe intelligent contingency management (ICM) system so that it is aware of its internal state and external environment at all times and can make decisions about mission completion or modification [17]. Moreover, when drones are used for mass transport, drones must be able to interact with and react to feedback from a drone operations control center that monitors the paths of all drones.…”

“…Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is an emerging concept of future air transportation, as it is envisioned that gradually the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircrafts, ranging from small package delivery drones to passenger-carrying air taxis will replace, or at least compete with, road and railway transportation systems, especially in urban areas [3]. Access to immediate and flexible air travel has been coined "the third aviation revolution" as it is projected that it will make air travel available for the masses [4]. One of the requirements for this revolution to happen is that a regulatory framework is established that not only guarantees smooth and safe transportation but also addresses other public concerns such as liability, noise, and privacy of citizens [5].…”

This paper investigates the legal framework required to develop a safe and sustainable Urban Air Mobility system in Indonesia. A coherent and comprehensive legal framework for UAM minimizes the risks posed by mass application of drones. Risk mitigation is essential, as public opinion, social resistance, and costs will determine how the public will receive such services. To ensure sustainability, drone services must be safe, comfortable, and not disturb local communities too much. Accidents are detrimental to trust and increase insurance costs. Areas that require special regulatory attention are requirements for aircraft, requirements for the ground station, requirements for operations, minimization of visual and sound pollution, and rights and responsibilities of operators vis-à-vis users and third parties. This paper explores the extent to which current Indonesia’s drone regulations provide a legal framework for future mass use of drones for transportation and provide recommendations for further regulation and risk mitigation.

“…This attention is due to the fact that underactuated systems are more difficult to control due to having more degrees of freedom relative to the number of controls available [25]. However, the emerging urban air mobility (UAM) sector allows the opportunity to study the application of optimal control methods to overactuated aircraft whose complexity appears in the nonlinear transition dynamics between flight phases [12,11]. These UAM class vehicles commonly exhibit three phases of flight -including vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), fixed-wing cruise, and a complex transition phase between the two -and can thus be classified as hybrid systems [6,9,13], transitioning between multiple modes of the dynamics during a flight.…”

NASA is conducting investigations in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft and operations. AAM missions are characterised by ranges below 300 nm, including rural and urban operations, passenger carrying as well as cargo delivery. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a subset of AAM and is the segment that is projected to have the most economic benefit and be the most difficult to develop. The NASA Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology project is developing UAM VTOL aircraft designs that can be used to focus and guide research activities in support of aircraft development for emerging aviation markets. These NASA concept vehicles encompass relevant UAM features and technologies, including propulsion architectures, highly efficient yet quiet rotors, and aircraft aerodynamic performance and interactions. The configurations adopted are generic, intentionally different in appearance and design detail from prominent industry arrangements. Already these UAM concept aircraft have been used in numerous engineering investigations, including work on meeting safety requirements, achieving good handling qualities, and reducing noise below helicopter certification levels. Focusing on the concept vehicles, observations are made regarding the engineering of Advanced Air Mobility aircraft.
