The field of Airspace Research encompasses a substantial portion of aeronautics, including urban air mobility (UAM), high-fidelity flight simulation, and air traffic management (ATM). This work extends into applied studies for unmanned aircraft systems traffic management (UTM) and the integration of non-traditional vehicles into the operational environment of the National Airspace System.
Urban air mobility means a safe and efficient system for vehicles, piloted or not, to move passengers and cargo within a city.
