More than 160,000 eVTOL aircraft are expected to be carrying passengers in urban air mobility (UAM) services by 2050, according to new research by aviation consultants Roland Berger. In a report presented for the FIA Connect event on July 23, the company said that it expects such operations to be evenly divided between what it defined as “city taxi” (on-demand flights of 15-50 km), “airport shuttle” (also 15-50 km, or up to around 30 miles), and “intercity” (scheduled flights of between 50 and 250 km, or up to around 150 miles).
Of the $80 billion annual value projected for the new UAM market by 2050, Roland Berger calculates that airport shuttle and inter-city flights will account for most of that amount (respectively 50 and 40 percent), while city taxi journeys take the remaining 10 percent.
