T Osborne & G Warwick, CityAirbus is assessing technologies needed for UAM, Aviation Week & Space Technology, 11-24 March 2019, p 32
In Europe, Airbus is developing the CityAirbus, a 2.2 metric ton urban air mobility (UAM) vehicle using electric vertical-take-off-and-landing (eVTOL) with sets of four ducted co-axial rotors drives by eight Siemens SP200D 100 kW motors powered by four batteries. A safe landing can be achieved following the loss of any two of the motors, hence a parachute is not required.
