Overview of the Research Topics of the RTG

Within our RTG AirMetro, we're exploring how Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) can revolutionize transportation in connected cities. Our focus lies in leveraging compact aerial vehicles for efficient, safe, and cost-effective travel, aiming to enhance AAM's capabilities. We're dedicated to advancing technology, ensuring safety measures, establishing reliable communication networks, and optimizing infrastructure placement. Together, our researchers are driving innovations to shape the future of AAM.

Our 11 PhD projects and the Postdoc project thrive on strong interaction and communication among each other. The collaboration among researchers opens up new perspectives and enables excellent research.

Below you'll find an overview of our topics:
