Urban Air Mobility (UAM) does more than just open up new potential in terms of transporting goods: if some urban traffic goes airborne, this will also offer completely new approaches when it comes to sustainable mobility solutions. In the Fraunhofer ALBACOPTER® lighthouse project, six Fraunhofer institutes are addressing the technical and social issues associated with UAM. Led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Transportation and Infrastructure Systems IVI, research-ers have developed an aircraft that glides in a particularly efficient way – inspired by the gliding flight of the albatross. This device and other highlights will feature at the joint Fraunhofer booth (D11, in Hall B1) at the IAA MOBILITY trade show in Munich from September 5 to 8, 2023.
