美国宇航局正在进行先进空中机动（AAM）飞机和操作的调查。空对空任务的特点是航程低于300海里，包括农村和城市操作，载客和货运。城市空中交通（UAM）是城市空中交通的一个子集，是预计具有最大经济效益和最难发展的部分。NASA革命性垂直升力技术项目正在开发UAM垂直起降飞机设计，可用于集中和指导研究活动，以支持新兴航空市场的飞机开发。这些NASA概念飞行器包含了相关的UAM功能和技术，包括推进结构、高效而安静的旋翼、飞机气动性能和相互作用。所采用的配置是通用的，有意在外观和设计细节上与著名的行业安排不同。这些UAM概念飞机已经用于许多工程调查，包括满足安全要求的工作，实现良好的操作质量，并将噪音降低到低于直升机认证水平。重点是概念车，观察有关先进的空中机动飞机的工程。
NASA is conducting investigations in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft and operations. AAM missions are characterised by ranges below 300 nm, including rural and urban operations, passenger carrying as well as cargo delivery. Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a subset of AAM and is the segment that is projected to have the most economic benefit and be the most difficult to develop. The NASA Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology project is developing UAM VTOL aircraft designs that can be used to focus and guide research activities in support of aircraft development for emerging aviation markets. These NASA concept vehicles encompass relevant UAM features and technologies, including propulsion architectures, highly efficient yet quiet rotors, and aircraft aerodynamic performance and interactions. The configurations adopted are generic, intentionally different in appearance and design detail from prominent industry arrangements. Already these UAM concept aircraft have been used in numerous engineering investigations, including work on meeting safety requirements, achieving good handling qualities, and reducing noise below helicopter certification levels. Focusing on the concept vehicles, observations are made regarding the engineering of Advanced Air Mobility aircraft.
