Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a brand-new air vehicle that can move autonomously and ubiquitously over the city and is sometimes called as a “Flying Car.” UAM is premised on electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and has been developed around the world based on drone technology. In addition, from the viewpoint of passenger transport, the performance and safety should be equivalent to conventional transport aircraft, but it is also meaningful to look at approaches to utilizing sky above. In this report, we reviewed the global trends of UAM aircraft development and regulation work and introduced the case studies on UAM design.
