这个快速通道项目是一个独特的机会，允许不同的利益相关者以敏捷的方式在真实的欧洲环境中开发和联合验证所需的UAM技术和运营。这将有助于市场在技术开发中跨越著名的“死亡之谷”，同时也将带来大量的见解，这对于确保在所有类型的空域中安全引入新的UAM车辆是必要的。该项目设定了5个关键目标，将提供6个明确的结果，这些结果将有助于实现呼吁文本中所述的所有预期成果。OperA项目将通过在真实ATM条件（TRL 7）（包括应急和非标称情况）下验证3种不同的复杂UAM（有人驾驶的空中出租车和无人驾驶货物）操作，在所有类型的空域（受控，非受控和U空间）和条件下实现安全有效的操作。它将通过解决空中/地面一体化以及TRL 7上5项关键的可持续性技术从试点到自动化飞行的关键过渡步骤，刺激新的可持续城市空中交通服务的采用。此外，与下一个最佳运输替代方案相比，它将确保环境可持续性，并通过优化飞行路线以减少噪音足迹和飞机能源利用来加强环境可持续性。最终，它将通过解决必要的标准化，法规和路线图来加速城市空中交通的部署，与正在进行的3辆欧洲UAM车辆的认证同步，并通过有针对性的沟通和传播活动确保社会接受。所有这一切将通过3个不同的和精心挑选的示范活动，涉及欧洲最有前途的UAM OEM

This Fast Track project is a unique opportunity allowing the different stakeholders to approach, in an agile way, the development and joint validation of needed UAM technologies and operations in a real European environment. This will help the market bridge the famous “Valley of Death” in technology development, while it will bring a significant amount of insights that will be necessary for ensuring a safe introduction of the new UAM vehicles in all types of airspaces. The project has set 5 key objectives which will deliver 6 well defined results that will contribute to achieving all Expected Outcomes stated in the Call text. The OperA project will enable safe and efficient operations in all types of airspace (controlled, uncontrolled and U-space) and conditions by validating 3 different complex UAM (piloted Air Taxi and unmanned cargo) operations in real-life ATM conditions (TRL7) including contingency and non-nominal situations. It will stimulate the uptake of new sustainable Urban Air Mobility services by addressing Air/Ground integration and the critical transition steps from piloted towards automated flights for 5 key autonomy-enabling technologies at TRL7. In addition, it will ensure environmental sustainability compared to the next best transport alternative, and enhance it, by optimizing flight routing for minimum noise footprint and aircraft energy utilization. Eventually, it will accelerate the deployment of Urban Air Mobility by addressing necessary standardization, regulation and roadmaps, in synchronization with the ongoing certification of the 3 involved European UAM vehicles, and ensure social acceptance by targeted communication and dissemination activities. All of this will be done through 3 distinct and well selected demonstration activities involving Europe’s most promising UAM OEMs
