Urban Air Mobility

NASA and its partners are revolutionizing air mobility around metropolitan areas by enabling safe, efficient, convenient, affordable and accessible air transportation systems for passengers and cargo. Automobiles as we know them may soon take flight and move us through the open skies to destinations near and far.

Thank you!

Nice, high-level presentation of UAM and NASA's role and involvement. Great footage of many of the ongoing vehicles. Not a lot of facts, though, regarding certification, battery technology and the charging station infrastructure required, battery energy/power density, and, well, how close are we to having vehicles in the air doing the UAM thing. Right now there are test programs that are clos. And no mention of Uber Elevate? A bit surprising. But thank you, NASA for putting this together and providing leadership.

The vision at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="215">3:35</a> isn't really a vision. It's a mission. Vision - Mission - Ambition.

They all have an expiration date... It's just a matter of when.

Hasn't this been tried before and failed? Helicopter transport flopped pretty hard, idk how this is that much different.

It can go very bad, or very good, I choose the latter if I have to wish for a future, we can always go back to the agricultural revolution, there's always time to be mediocre, it's the easiest thing.
