Performance Based Navigation Concept for Vertiports [PDF]

, 2022
This thesis aims to develop an initial Performance Based Navigation concept for vertiports. Developing versatile and robust navigational concepts for UAM is key for safe and efficient operations within urban areas. A vertiport and its geofences and the airspace as well as routes through it were designed.
