Urban Air Mobility Engineering: eVTOL Design, Advanced Air Mobility Certification, and Vertiport Infrastructure Development (Advanced Mobility Engineering Series) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The Definitive Engineering Guide to eVTOL and Advanced Air Mobility

Accelerate your expertise with the ultimate technical handbook for the next generation of aviation. Urban Air Mobility Engineering is the first comprehensive guide written specifically for aerospace engineers, hardware designers, and systems architects working on electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

This authoritative resource bypasses high-level industry hype to deliver hard engineering facts, mathematical models, and certification pathways. From propulsion and battery chemistry to flight control laws and vertiport infrastructure, you will master the entire eVTOL development stack.

• eVTOL Aircraft Configurations: Performance trade-offs of multicopter, lift-plus-cruise, and tilt-wing designs.
• Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP): PMSM motor sizing, propeller aeroacoustics, and critical multi-motor failure mitigation.
• Battery Pack Engineering: High-energy density cell selection, liquid thermal management, and safety containment.
• Fly-by-Wire Flight Control: High-integrity redundant architectures, flight control laws, and DO-178C software assurance.
• FAA SC-VTOL Certification: Deep dive into airworthiness standards, means of compliance, and powered-lift type certification.
• Vertiport Infrastructure: Structural load analysis, fast-charging electrical grids, and urban airspace integration.

Whether you are transitioning from traditional aerospace or entering the field from robotics and automotive engineering, this textbook equips you with the tools needed to design safe, efficient, and certifiable electric aircraft.
