摘要：

Urban air mobility (UAM) is a promising transportation concept that can effectively address city traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Power batteries are used extensively in UAM vehicles, and their technical characteristics (charge rate and specific energy) are coupled with other sizing parameters to significantly impact the direct operating cost (DOC). This study develops a DOC model based on a standard flight profile and a detailed battery model to determine the impact of battery performance on UAM operations. The results reveal that for a given operating model and current battery technology, there is a narrower charge rate choice for different DOCs; a charging rate of at least 2-2.5 C is required for rational design. Advancements in specific energy are expected to reduce the DOC by 20-25% by 2035. This model reflects the impacts of battery performance on UAM operations, which is conducive to further developments in the UAM market.
