low-altitute economy infrastructure research
Project Description
Researching low-altitude economy infrastructure involves investigating the systems, technologies, and frameworks that support economic activities at lower altitudes, particularly in urban areas. Here are some key areas to focus on:



1. Infrastructure Development
Vertiports and Landing Zones: Analyze the design and location of infrastructures necessary for UAM.
Maintenance and Support Facilities: Look into the facilities needed for the maintenance of low-altitude vehicles.


2. Economic Impact

Investment Opportunities: Identify sectors likely to attract investment due to advancements in low-altitude technologies.

3. Environmental Considerations
Noise Pollution: Assess the impact of low-altitude operations on urban noise levels.
Emissions: Study the environmental footprint of low-altitude vehicles compared to traditional transport.
