This book explores the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) ecosystem, a subject that covers technological innovation, sustainable planning, and aviation safety. As urban and regional populations grow and traditional transportation networks reach their limits, AAM has emerged as a transformational solution for delivering transit through aerial mobility.
This title examines how resilient safety principles can be integrated into AAM systems to create efficient, sustainable, and safe modes of local transportation. Addressing the technical, operational, and regulatory challenges of AAM, this text investigates where safety, technology, and human experience intersect. It presents that the AAM industry is not only innovative but also safe and sustainable for all, and examines risk management strategies, showcasing the importance of embedding resilience into AAM operations to mitigate potential hazards. Technological advancements are highlighted in case studies from aircraft design innovations to vertiport infrastructure, alongside a detailed analysis of the regulatory frameworks governing the safe integration of AAM into urban settings. It emphasizes user-centric design and the importance of ergonomic considerations to enhance comfort and psychological well-being in aviation.
The reader will gain insights and appreciate the practical guidance needed for AAM. Resilient Safety in Advanced Air Mobility: Framework for Sustainable Operations is an ideal purchase for occupational health and safety practitioners, aviation professionals, systems engineers, urban planners, policymakers, and researchers.
