New advances in electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircrafts require adaptations in the management of the future urban air space. The new mode of green air transportation offers opportunities like fast commuting times and more flexibility. However, it involves drawbacks, for example an increased noise pollution or safety violations. These conflicts need to be effectively managed. We propose a solution that satisfies citizens, relieves urban transport systems and reduces environmental impacts in urban areas. In a first step, information from the flight laws are used to model the restricted air space of the future. These air space restrictions are combined with the proposed protected areas designated for preserving the life quality of citizens. In a next step, a route network is proposed taking the following objectives into account: minimizing the networks flight path length, minimizing the noise pollution for the citizens and minimizing risk in emergency cases. Lastly, we improve the restricted air space and network to be adaptable and scalable. The model is designed to find optimal solutions for different types of urban areas and is adjustable to temporal changes within each urban area. These temporal conditions arise from changing safety requirements, a changing consumer demand and a changing noise level. We introduce the site planning for vertihubs and vertiports for landing an eVTOL aircraft in this temporally changing environment. Using New York City as the study area, our research demonstrates how the flight network for Urban Air Mobility can be designed to meet safety requirements while increasing the citizens’ willingness to engage with the new green mode of transportation.
