Future Flight Governance: Socio-Legal, Environmental and Economic Approaches
This book examines the governance of emerging aviation technologies through social, legal, environmental, and economic perspectives. It explores how advanced air mobility technologies, including drones, electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, and electric- or hydrogen-powered aircraft, may transform passenger transportation, goods delivery, and aviation services. The book addresses the regulatory frameworks, public policies, social perceptions, economic considerations, and environmental challenges associated with the development and integration of these technologies into existing aviation systems. It also discusses accessibility, social inclusion, stakeholder engagement, urban planning, and the coordination of governance across different levels of government. Furthermore, the book investigates how policymakers, regulators, industry stakeholders, and communities can work together to ensure that future aviation technologies are safe, responsible, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable. By bringing together interdisciplinary research from law, economics, geography, and social sciences, the book provides insights into the opportunities and challenges of developing advanced air mobility. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, policymakers, aviation professionals, regulators, and practitioners interested in aviation innovation, transport governance, and sustainable air transportation.
