The company provides technological developments in areas such as flight control management, airport design and UAS development and operation that are applicable to this new mobility concept.
At the end of September, Malaga was the epicenter of mobility by hosting the celebration of Greencities, Intelligence and Urban Sustainability, and S-Moving, Smart and Sustainable Mobility, one of the national benchmark events on the development of sustainable, efficient and connected territories, and the challenges and opportunities of urban management. Aertec, an international company specialized in aerospace technology, came to S-Moving with its own stand from which it presented its services in the context of Urban Air Mobility.
Urban Air Mobility is a relatively new concept that refers to the new potential that air vehicles can bring to the movement of people and goods in metropolitan environments. The vehicles that we will see flying in our cities will be fundamentally of two types: multirotor drones for the transport of small goods (less than 5 kg), and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aerial vehicles, focused on the transfer of people (between two and five passengers).
According to Aertec experts, it will not be long before we will see some of these services in operation in our cities. The company has already positioned itself as a top-level technology company where both its ability to develop next-generation aerospace systems, as well as its extensive knowledge in the field of air navigation and airport design, concur.
Aertec also has extensive experience in the development and operations with UAS, with its TARSIS platforms, and in innovation in the design and development of flight control management systems, areas with an extensive field of application in this new concept. of urban air mobility. In fact, the technology company is part of several international working groups in which various projects in this field are being addressed and in which Aertec’s technological developments are applicable.
In a recent study carried out by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), 83% of the population declares a positive attitude towards Urban Air Mobility, as it will benefit urban areas from a decrease in air traffic. traffic jams, a decrease in pollution caused by traffic, or better and faster access of emergency services to the places where they are required.
In addition, the development of a new mobility space in the sky of the metropolitan areas is allowing the design of the optimal integration of scheduled services and on-demand services that will circulate through air corridors, coordinated by a common information exchange system.
Another key aspect, according to Aertec, will be the integration of Urban Air Mobility with existing air transport services, and one of the most demanded services in the future may be transfers between airports and city centers.
