Air Corridors: Concept, Design, Simulation, and Rules of Engagement. [PDF]

Sensors (Basel), 2021
Air corridors are an integral part of the advanced air mobility infrastructure. They are the virtual highways in the sky for the transportation of people and cargo in a controlled airspace at an altitude of around 1000 ft. to 2000 ft. above ground level.
