UAM, which means a taxi in the sky, or urban air mobility, has come closer to everyday life by introducing models, communication, landing pads, control, and dedicated paging apps.
Even drones that can fly for 13 hours or weigh up to 300 kg, including people, have been developed.
Reporter Lee Seung-yoon reports from the scene.

Urban air mobility, UAM, flying over the coastal waters of Busan.
It lands safely at the vertiport of Gadeokdo New Airport, that is, the landing pad.
I’m wearing AR glasses that UAM pilots will likely wear as an aid in the near future.
The glasses provide a clear view of the process of choosing alternative routes to avoid collisions with other UAMs.
As such, Asia’s largest drone event was held in Busan.
An urban air traffic platform, an integrated control system, a UAM model, and even a dedicated app have appeared.
It is predicted that the full-fledged business will start in 2025.

Drones that can carry and fly up to 300kg, including people, are a stepping stone to UAM.
Multi-purpose transport drones that can load up to 100 kg of cargo and fly for more than 30 minutes also attracted attention.
Drones that fly up to 13 hours on a single charge foreshadowed that liquid hydrogen will be the energy source for UAM in the future.

It also introduced a civil-military transport drone that uses an internal combustion engine and battery hybrid engine.
These state-of-the-art drones make us realize that the era of transportation in the sky is just around the corner.
