Emerging Aviation Technology: Autonomy

Emerging Aviation Technology: Autonomy | Lina Yang

October 18, 2024

Thank you to Lina Yang, Head of Intelligent Systems, Supernal, who presented Emerging Aviation Technology: Autonomy at the Transportation Seminar Oct. 18, 2024.

Abstract: Urban air mobility (UAM) enables highly automated, cooperative passenger- or cargo-carrying air transportation services in and around urban areas. In order to increase the volume of UAM operation, the key is to understand and enable the “highly automation.” The highly automation does not just apply to vehicle automation but to whole ecosystems, including air traffic services (ATS). Lina Yang will discuss the building blocks necessary to enable high-density UAM operation in this talk.

Bio: Lina Yang heads the Intelligent Systems team at Supernal, overseeing everything from the simplified vehicle concept to a comprehensive autonomy solution and roadmap. Her approach to autonomy centers on the software-defined Vehicle. Moving from technology and automotive sectors to aviation was a seamless transition for her. In this new realm of the urban air mobility industry, Yang strategically addresses challenges within controlled airspace, driven by her visionary perspective on autonomy.
