VTOL Failure Detection and Recovery by Utilizing Redundancy

Understand

Offering vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities and the ability to travel great distances are crucial for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles.

• These capabilities make hybrid VTOLs the clear front-runners among UAM platforms.
• On the other hand, concerns regarding the safety and reliability of autonomous aircraft have grown in response to the recent growth in aerial vehicle usage.
• As a result, monitoring the aircraft status to report any failures and recovering to prevent the loss of control when a failure happens are becoming increasingly important.
