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), 4×50 = 200-nm range side-by-side helicopter with hybrid propulsion; and a fifteen-passenger (3000-lb pa…
