While technology is moving rapidly, the infrastructure and regulations around urban air mobility need significant development. Key issues include setting air traffic rules for low-altitude airspace, designing urban landing and takeoff points, and developing robust safety standards. Governments worldwide, especially in urban hubs, are working with aviation authorities to create the frameworks necessary to bring flying vehicles into everyday use.
Several cities, including Los Angeles, Dubai, and Singapore, have already begun setting up pilot programs and regulatory sandboxes to experiment with flying vehicle operations, partnering with aviation companies and infrastructure developers to adapt airspace, airfields, and city planning.
