Urban Air Mobility - Hype or Hope?

Mariya Tarabanovska

When the whole world seems to be falling apart due to the actions taken by global political leaders faced with COVID-19 threats, what hopes are there for the near-term future to be more safe and sustainable? The new 'normal’ of the aerospace industry is indeed terrifying with thousands on furlough and laid-off. If there are any changes ahead, what are they and which directions are they coming from?


Arguably, those looking at the future of flight, in particular, Urban Air Mobility (or 'the flying taxis'), are feeling positive that the current difficulties will turn out to be opportunities for electric-powered aircraft set to carry people around one day. Are you?

    I hope that UAMs develop to a position whereby the cost of flying in them as a passenger is reasonable and can be utilised and enjoyed by a wide group of people. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing them in operation in our cities.
