Since the early 20^th century, inventors have conceptualized “plane cars” and other urban aerial transportation. Emerging innovations in electrification, automation, and other technologies are enabling new opportunities for on-demand air mobility, business models, and aircraft design. Urban air mobility (UAM) envisions a safe, sustainable, affordable, and accessible air transportation system for passenger mobility, goods delivery, and emergency services within or traversing metropolitan areas. This research employed a multi-method approach comprised of 106...

This assessment identifies the legal and regulatory requirements (existing and anticipated) that must be met for three focus UAM markets - Air Taxi, Ambulance, and Airport Shuttle. This assessment also captures variations in requirements observed at the state and local level, international developments, certification issues, and existing opportunities to address legal barriers and gaps.
