Concept Vehicles for VTOL Air Taxi Operations

Authors / Details: Wayne Johnson, Christopher Silva, NASA Ames Research Center; Eduardo Solis, Science and Technology Corporation

Abstract
Concept vehicles are presented for air taxi operations, also known as urban air mobility or on-demand mobility applications. Considering the design-space dimensions of payload (passengers and pilot), range, aircraft type, and propulsion system, three aircraft are designed: a single-passenger (250-lb payload), 50-nm range quadrotor with electric propulsion; a six-passenger (1200-lb payload), 4x50 = 200-nm range side-by-side helicopter with hybrid propulsion; and a fifteen-passenger (3000-lb payload), 8x50 = 400-nm range tiltwing with turbo-electric propulsion. These concept vehicles are intended to focus and guide NASA research activities in support of aircraft development for emerging aviation markets, in particular VTOL air taxi operations. Research areas are discussed, illustrated by results from the design of the concept vehicles.
