“…A steering wheel control concept was developed and tested extensively in piloted simulations, see Figure 9. The steering wheel concept resulted in reduced workload for helicopter pilots and minimally trained PAV pilots compared to conventional rotorcraft controls [44]. The underlying control laws were evaluated in ground-based simulation as well as in real flight on DLR's in-flight simulator FHS, a highly modified EC135 helicopter.…”

Urban air mobility is a rapidly growing field of research. While drones or unmanned aerial vehicles have been operated mainly in the private and military sector in the past, an increasing range of opportunities is opening up for commercial applications. A new multitude of passenger-carrying drone or air taxi concepts promises to fulfill the dream of flying above congested urban areas. While early research has been focusing on vehicle development, solutions for urban air traffic management are lagging behind. This paper collects and reviews the main findings of past urban-air-mobility-related research projects at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to serve as a basis for ongoing research from an air traffic management perspective.

“…The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has been playing an active role in multiple previous UAM projects. They cover the investigation of enabling technologies (myCopter 13 [10,11]), urban flight guidance concepts (Metropolis [12,13]), airspace integration (City-ATM [14], CORUS-XUAM 14 ), cooperative automation of traffic on road, rail, water and in the air (Verkehr 5.0 15 , Automover 16 ). Regional passenger transportation (Silent Air Taxi [15]), autonomous cargo transport (ALAADy [16]), contingency management (voloCHRIS 17 , voloSTREAM 18 ), multicopter drone acoustic (AACID 19 ) as well as the design of vehicle concepts for special urban applications (Urban-Rescue 20 ) are also among the UAM related topics; just to name a few representatives of DLR's UAM research activities.…”

Efficiency, safety, feasibility, sustainability and affordability are among the key characteristics of future urban mobility. The project "HorizonUAM -Urban Air Mobility Research at the German Aerospace Center (DLR)" provides first answers to this vision by pooling existing competencies of individual institutes within DLR. HorizonUAM combines research about urban air mobility (UAM) vehicles, the corresponding infrastructure, the operation of UAM services, as well as public acceptance and market development of future urban air transportation. Competencies and current research topics including propulsion technologies, flight system technologies, communication and navigation go along in conjunction with the findings of modern flight guidance and airport technology techniques. The project analyses possible UAM market scenarios up to the year 2050 and assesses economic aspects such as the degree of vehicle utilization or cost-benefit potential via an overall system model. Furthermore, the system design for future air taxis is carried out on the basis of vehicle family concepts, onboard systems, aspects of safety and security as well as the certification of autonomy functions. The analysis of flight guidance concepts and the sequencing of air taxis at vertidromes is another central part of the project. Selected concepts for flight guidance, communication and navigation technology will also be demonstrated with drones in a scaled urban scenario. This paper gives an overview of the topics covered in the HorizonUAM project, running from mid-2020 to mid-2023, as well as an early progress report.
