Manufacturing concept
In the development of future air mobility systems, structural design goes hand in hand with production strategy. From the outset, the cabin structure is conceived not only for lightweight performance and safety, but also for efficient manufacturing and scalability.
Modular construction methods, inspired by advanced automotive production, enable flexible assembly processes that can adapt to different cabin variants and use cases. Composite materials like CFRP are used where strength and weight are critical, while metal structures support energy absorption and simplified fabrication.
The joining techniques and material choices are optimized for clean assembly, minimal tooling effort, and repeatable quality. At the same time, design and manufacturing are closely linked through digital tools and early virtual validation—ensuring that structural concepts can move smoothly from prototype to series production.
This integrated approach ensures that innovative air taxi concepts are not only technically advanced but also economically viable in large-scale operation.
