NASA’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Sub-Project is engaged in research to support the introduction of air taxis into the National Airspace System. Such operations will require a range of communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. Air vehicles for UAM are under development and will initially have human pilots. Separation from other aircraft, obstacles, and weather may be a pilot responsibility or provided by an operator’s ground-based systems. Eventually, air taxis may be flown from the ground or fly autonomously. The variable separation concept adds separation buffers to air taxis depending upon their situation or location.
