Abstract
This paper presents a framework, MADAM(Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design for Advanced Mobility). For the actual UAM operation, not only aircraft performances but also demand, cost and flight scenarios are in connection; the overall framework is essential for the multidisciplinary design. In this study, the framework is developed and introduced. Demand and cost analysis of Gimpo-Samseong line in the Seoul area using the framework is conducted as an example result. Also, future ticket prices are estimated by applying changes in the aspects of major cost components and the price, ￦76,000, is calculated with the target for maximizing the total profit in the year 2035.
