This research presents a simulation framework for autonomous research for a UAM vehicle using the NASA Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology Lift+Cruise concept vehicle. Our research results were produced using the open-source, six degree of freedom, rigid-body, nonlinear generic urban air mobility (GUAM) simulation. The intent of this paper is to demonstrate the GUAM simulation and a series of Challenge Problems that our researchers have posed to the broader autonomous vehicle research community. Our team has developed the GUAM simulation for the express purpose of providing a high-fidelity transition vehicle dynamics model to foster collaboration and algorithm performance comparison across research teams. In this paper, we demonstrate some of the autonomous flight research challenges and some of our current approaches to tackling basic autonomous flight tasks (e.g., trajectory following, stationary and moving obstacle avoidance). Additionally, we propose some flight metrics to assess autonomous algorithm performance while accomplishing these basic autonomous tasks.
