New air-jet tech could make flying taxis faster and much quieter

As seen online:

“Driven by global urbanization and road traffic congestion, the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector is entering a period of rapid, long-term expansion. According to financial services firm Morgan Stanley, the global UAM market is projected to reach approximately $1.5 trillion (around KRW 2,000 trillion) by 2040. ”

There are issues here, like 3D traffic management. Here is some research: 

Urban air mobility in the built environment: A review of aerodynamic interactions, thermal effects, and simulation challenges:

• Comprehensive review of studies on urban air mobility in the built environment.

• Urban environmental factors and methodological aspects systematically analyzed.

• Quantitative research on localized turbulence coupling remains insufficient.

• Dynamic threshold systems needed for eVTOLs in complex urban wind environments.
