About urban air mobility
It is our belief that aviation will be sustainable in the future. And that future might be earlier then most people expect. With the upcoming Urban Air Mobility industry, so called electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, will enter our urban skies and will fulfill a vital role of inner- and outer city transportation.
We see numerous use-cases for UAM, reaching from medical transportation towards commuting to work. Vital elements, such as safety, certification, noise and public desirability, airspace intergration and many more need to be investigated before high intensity UAM takes flight in our cities. At Unified International we are there to support you in those elements and already guide companies worldwide to our sustainable dream, without losing sight for realism.
Unified International serves as a consultancy partner for a wide variety of stakeholders, such as government entities (regional & national), (real estate) Developers, Airports and (future) operators.
Urban air mobility concept
Our role
Many stakeholders are currently exploring the potential of UAM for their (daily) business or operations. Therefore, the industry is mainly thinking in terms of Air Mobility concepts and Vertiport artist impressions. It is our goal to bring together all relevant stakeholders and get things done. We want to get away from our desks and make the UAM concept a reality by using our experience and know-how in traditional aviation and clear vision of the future. Unified International is the go-to partner for you next-level Urban Air Mobility concept(s).
Our capabilities
Unified International is able to support you in:
- UAM roadmapping
- Emission and noise impact studies
- Vertiport concept and Vertiport network development
- CFD analysis for Vertiport return-on-investment and value estimation
- (Co-)creation of your business model based on our profound economic models
- UAM route development, including multi-modal concepts
- Impact study on several topics, such as airspace integration (ATM and U-space)
- Multi stakeholder analysis
- Concept of Operations for UAM operation
And much more.
Urban Air Mobility realisation
Our role
In some regions and cities there are already advanced programs that introduce Urban Air Mobilty in pilot projects. One example is the pilot that will take place during the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. Those pilot projects are the first initiatives that will elaborate the next generation of mobility in cities. In the meantime, global regulatory bodies start to work on standards and regulation for eVTOL and Vertiports, which allows the realisation of Urban Air Mobility sooner rather than later. With our common ground in aviation standards, profound knowledge of recent developments in pilot projects, influence in regulatory working groups and extensive experience in getting towards helicopter operations, Unified International is able to support OEMs, (local) governments, land-lords, airports and heliport operators in their challenges to start UAM.
Our capabilities
Unified International is able to support you in:
- IST to SOLL analysis;
- How to prepara your helicopter operations to eVTOL operations
- How to change a helipad into a vertiport
- Establishing tenders for UAM initiatives
- Co-creation and adjustments of your business model based on our profound economic models
- Regulatory processes to comply your upcoming operations with latest regulations and standards
- Preparation and execution of UAM pilot projects
- Project management during the execution phase of a UAM project (e.g. installation of a Vertiport)
And much more.
Urban Air Mobility operation
Our role
The helicopter industry (HEMS, but also leisure) has already shown the potential of vertical flight in and above cities around the globe. Some use-cases could be easily exchanged with eVTOL operations and therefore sustainable UAM. It is our goal to accelerate your UAM developments to have your UAM operations in place as soon as possible.
Our capabilities
Unified International is able to support you in:
- Cost Benefit Analysis on your current (UAM) operations, and impact analysis of using eVTOL
- Adjustments needed in the Concept of Operations
- Training and advise regarding HR/Staffing (HLO) for your infrastructure (vertiport/helipad)
- Compliancy checks, safety checks and noise and downwash impact studies
- Support in demonstration projects (e.g. test flights/programs)
- Challenge your existing business model based on our profound economic models
- Evaluation and development of UAM route-network
- Sales support
And much more.
