Urban Transport Takes Flight, the most recent in Mouser Electronics’ Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, explores the developing field of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). The technology underlying electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, the infrastructure deployment issues in cities, and the hydrogen fuel cell solutions powering the future of urban transportation are all covered in this series.
Form, power, and energy storage constraints limit Urban Air Mobility’s (UAM) ability to move from a future notion to a scalable reality. In order to overcome this difficulty, engineers have developed a modular design method that enables eVTOL aircraft to be specifically designed for longer regional flights or inner-city air taxis.
The sustainability of urban transportation depends on overcoming energy constraints, and cutting-edge developments, especially in hydrogen fuel cell technology, have proven crucial.
By providing reliable, high-density power and drastically cutting turnaround times compared to conventional batteries, these fuel cells contribute to the development of dependable solutions. Building a functional urban transportation ecosystem requires a combination of advanced power and modular architecture.
The Tech Between Us podcast, focusing on Advanced Air Mobility, will have guest host Matt Campbell, Technical Marketing Engineer at Mouser, joined by Bob Johnson, Principal at Johnson Consulting and Advisory LLC, for an insightful conversation on the future of air travel. They examine the critical engineering challenges and market dynamics of UAM, including the necessary infrastructure for deployment, the foundational technology within eVTOLs, and the pathway to sustainable, scalable adoption.
In addition to the podcast, the EIT series includes an in-depth video, technical articles, a topic-related infographic, as well as subscriber-exclusive content, examining the technology, infrastructure, and challenges associated with the future of transportation. By leveraging insights into the shifting air mobility landscape, engineers can design the next generation of sustainable UAM solutions.
Established in 2015, Mouser’s Empowering Innovation Together program is one of the electronic component industry’s most recognized educational programs.
