Abstract

The development and implementation of the Urban Air Mobility transportation system, using electric vertical takeoff and landing (e-VTOL) aircrafts are the most promising solutions to mitigate growing congestion in big cities. The multiple studies and assumed forecasts indicate a transformation of urban and regional transportation infrastructure while applying the air mobility concept. This study analyzes the feasibility of UAM operations focused on the selection of service segmentation with relevant use cases, which allows for define suitable air vehicle configurations for optimization of possible air network development for Baku city and suburban areas. The result of the study introduces air vehicle features, including flight range, payload ratio, as well as several aspects of weather condition for safe operations, and outlines approaches to defining suitable regulatory framework requirements for public departments. The findings provide a practical perspective for urban planners and involved single companies, which may be useful guidelines at the initial stages of UAM services and obtaining significant information about e-VTOL aircraft and their design configurations to overcome arising barriers in the implementation processes.
