This course provides an overview of what is meant by the term ‘Urban Air Mobility’ and how it could benefit society in the near future. It will explore current attitudes towards Urban Air Mobility and drone technology based on current research and public and stakeholder engagement. 

The purpose of the course is to equip learners with an appreciation of this new form of mobility, acknowledging the opportunities and challenges for integration in our cities.

The first module introduces the topic and key terminology and addresses current misconceptions about drones. It presents the types of UAM aircraft being developed and introduces the stakeholders involved.

The second module presents the opportunities that Urban Air Mobility can bring to our cities, such as convenience, safety and environmental benefits, and the viable use cases including medical, personal deliveries and surveying.

The third module will focus on the challenges facing Urban Air Mobility today, such as technological, regulatory, economic and social. It will present the regulatory framework that is currently in place for the flying on unmanned aircraft.

The final module will focus on thinking about solutions to the challenges identified in the previous module. Countries and environments that are more favourable to integrating drones into the airspace will be discussed and the potential reasons for this will be explored
