Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is rapidly transforming the future of aviation by building on the foundation of traditional helicopter technology and pushing it into a new era of innovation. As cities grow denser and the demand for faster, cleaner, and more efficient transportation rises, UAM concepts—particularly electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs)—are gaining momentum. With up to 80% less noise than helicopters and the ability to operate in compact urban spaces, eVTOLs are poised to revolutionize use cases like emergency medical transport and aid delivery. Drawing from our extensive automotive experience, Continental Engineering Services (CES) has played a vital role in advancing these developments. We are supporting the transition from conventional rotorcraft to quieter, more sustainable, and safer airborne solutions.
We are mastering the Challenges
Our many years of experience in the field of electrical mobility have enabled us to deal with the challenges of Advanced Air Mobility, which include following questions:
Which E-drives can I use?
How do I optimize my range while in the same time ensuring a comfortable cooling or heating?
How to build a high voltage architecture without unnecessary weight?
How do I know that the landing site is really empty?
How do I avoid colliding with power lines?
With all these questions, we as CES can support you with our automotive and aviation experience and offer tailor-made solutions.
Software development is essential for the innovation of modern vehicles and machines. Our consultants will help you to select and adapt the right software and the appropriate functionalities for your development.
R&D Process Consulting plays an important role in the Research & Development area, when quality assurance, time schedule, interdisciplinary product development as well as costs need to be managed at the same time.
