Proceedings of DLR/DGLR 5th Innovative Air Mobility Symposium

The aim of the annual symposium is to share research results and discuss recent developments and questions on current research activities and industrial developments in the field of innovative air mobility, including advanced, urban, and regional air mobility, passenger and cargo transport. The symposium will provide an excellent opportunity for scientists and engineers from industry, research institutions and universities to exchange knowledge and findings of current studies, and to discuss directions for future research and development. The main topics to be discussed at 2025's IAM Symposium are How to overcome current challenges of IAM concepts? How can air mobility concepts be extended to smart inter-modal systems? Who are the stakeholders in IAM and what are their interests? How to take the next steps towards the safe introduction of air taxis or cargo drones and the necessary infrastructure in urban and regional areas? How does U-space play a role in IAM air traffic management? How to develop, construct and validate emerging new vertiport concepts? How can the gaps in the existing transportation system be identified and can IAM help? How can societal concerns such as safety, security, privacy, noise, and sustainability be addressed? What are recent advances in the simulation capabilities for IAM noise? How can the noise effect be assessed and what is the impact on humans? How can advances in autonomy and artificial intelligence be leveraged to enable IAM operations?
