Abstract(s)
O aumento exponencial da população mundial traduz-se numa expansão massiva das cidades e grandes centros urbanos, existindo consequentemente cada vez mais tráfego e poluição. A abertura do espaço aéreo para um novo modo de transporte elétrico, constitui uma provável solução. É neste contexto que se inserem os conceitos emergentes de aeronaves VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) e, de entre estas, as eVTOL, que se destacam pelo recurso à propulsão elétrica, menos poluente. A longo prazo, este tipo de veículos poderá também contribuir para a diminuição da poluição emitida pela indústria aeronáutica, atualmente responsável por 2% das emissões de CO2.
Nesta dissertação de Mestrado, de natureza teórico-prática, foi desenvolvida uma proposta de veículo aéreo autónomo de passageiros para médias distâncias, que responde ao atual contexto da mobilidade aérea interurbana. O desenvolvimento do projeto assenta numa metodologia mista de base qualitativa, intervencionista e não intervencionista. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa mais aprofundada nesta temática, uma análise de estudo de casos, aplicada a conceitos já existentes, e a elaboração de um projeto de design iterativo, com o apoio de especialistas na área. No final, foi construído um modelo representativo do projeto, para testar e avaliar o aspeto formal e funcional - incluindo modo de voo - desta proposta de design. De forma a complementar o transporte de pessoas, foi elaborado um serviço, que não só facilita a deslocação até às instalações da aeronave, como a aquisição dos bilhetes
ABSTRACT: The exponential increase of the worldwide population translates into a massive expansion of the cities and big urban centers, with consequently more traffic and pollution. The opening of airspace to a new mode of electric transport is a likely solution. This is the background of the development of the emerging concepts of VTOL aircraft (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) and, among them, the eVTOL, which stand out for their use of less polluting electric propulsion. In the long run, this type of vehicle would also contribute to a reduction in the pollution emitted by the aeronautical industry, currently accountable for 2% of the world pollution. In this Master's thesis, of a theoretical-practical nature, a proposal for an autonomous air vehicle for passenger transport for medium-distance was developed, which responds to the current context of intercity air mobility. The project's development was based on a qualitative, mixed methodology, interventionist and non-interventionist. To this end, a more in-depth research was carried out on this theme, as well as an analysis of case studies, applied to existing concepts, and the elaboration of an interactive design project, with the support of specialists in the area. In the end, a representative model of the project was built to test and evaluate the formal and functional aspect - including flight mode - of this design proposal. In order to complement the transport of people, a service was created, which not only facilitates the travel to the aircraft facilities, but also the purchase of tickets.
