Sammanfattning
The development of new types of aircraft that start and land vertically with zero emission and
noise is moving forward at a rapid pace. Several developers are in the process of certifying
their aircraft in the next coming years. If these novel aircraft are to be used in Sweden, there
must be preparations made by the flying industry. This thesis has studied the technical and
operational requirements made by novel aircraft and what is the best manner for integrating
them in to the already existing air-infrastructure. The thesis is based on literature research and
interviewing actor in the airport market and actors who are active in this sector.
The thesis began with analyzing the market, the major developers of AAM(Advanced Air
Mobility) and the technology being utilized the make personal transport with these aircraft a
reality. A large focal point has been the Lithium battery technology(LIB) and the challenges
and opportunities associated with LIBs. The research has shown that battery technology is not
an obstacle for market introduction but to gain better capacity and range novel battery
technology is required. Batteries with silicon anodes and solid state electrolytes has been
identified as the next major breakthroughs that could propel AAM to new heights.
The results of the interviews and internal workshops has shown that there is a possibility to
integrate AAM in to the current airports but there is great uncertainty regarding the
regulations of the controlled airspace around airports. The certification procedures and rules
are adequate for developing the aircrafts, but other aspects of operations are not codified yet
and aren’t expected until the year 2024. The developers and operators of AAM believe that
airports will play a major role initially due to the presence of already existing airinfrastructure
and knowledge of managing air traffic. The perception in the long run is that
AAM will move away from major airports to more regional airports and independent
vertiports.
