Abstract

The increasing population density in metropolitan areas, coupled with the faster pace of everyday life, calls for the development of Inter-Urban Air Mobility (UAM) solutions. Currently, there is a gap in the market since there is no competitor that can facilitate all market segments and also provide “last-mile transport” by air. This report aims to identify a promising Inter-UAM design, the Swing, focused on minimising the aircraft’s ground and environmental footprint. The small ground footprint will enable the vehicle to take off from smaller vertiports, helipads or even driveways, allowing it to penetrate urban areas and land where other UAM vehicles cannot.
