NASA's Urban Air Mobility Initiative

NASA’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Initiative aims to develop safe, efficient, and sustainable air transportation options within cities. It explores advanced air vehicles, like electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, to reduce traffic congestion and improve urban mobility. The program involves designing new air traffic management systems, ensuring safety standards, and integrating these aircraft into existing transportation networks. By fostering collaboration among government, industry, and researchers, NASA seeks to create a new era of urban air travel that is reliable, accessible, and environmentally friendly.
