Abstract
In this paper, the new vertiport regulations of the FAA and EASA are analyzed for urban air mobility(UAM), and the major components of the vertipad and the new specifications of each component are analyzed, and UAM operation in various environments is analyzed. Additional components for vertiport and regulations for surrounding airspace were also reviewed. Afterwards, based on the size of the S-A1 aircraft being developed by Hyundai Motors, domestic vertiport specifications and layouts were investigated for UAM operation, and these were applied to the city of Incheon. In addition, the time required for using a taxi or car were compared with the time required for using UAM between major locations in Incheon and Seoul.
