EmbraerX Says Air Traffic Management Progress is Key to Viability of Urban Air Mobility
Embraer realised that building an eVTOL aircraft was pointless without a scaleable air traffic management environment.
EmbraerX has studied Sao Paulo, the world's busiest city for helicopters, and concluded that ultimately the air traffic environment has to consist of automated aircraft in an automated system, if it is to scale to the levels envisages with the safety that regulators will require. Helping to drive that could be the fact the aviation industry is already struggling to train enough pilots and air traffic controllers for regular operations, while also facing high forecast growth and pressure to modernise and improve.
