What problem does it solve? Engineering teams developing eVTOL aircraft and urban air mobility operations face fragmented guidance across UTM integration, vehicle architecture, battery systems, and certification. This Skill consolidates domain expertise and applicable standards (ASTM F3548, DO-178C, DO-311A, EASA SC-VTOL, FAA powered-lift) into actionable engineering instructions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - UTM Airspace Integration: Implements strategic deconfliction, conformance monitoring, tactical deconfliction, and USS-to-USS/USS-to-ATC data exchange per ASTM F3548. - eVTOL Vehicle Architecture: Guides configuration trade studies (lift-plus-cruise vs. vectored-thrust), propulsion sizing, avionics architecture, and thermal management with concrete mass and power budgets. - Battery Systems Engineering: Covers cell chemistry selection, pack architecture, fault-tolerant BMS design, fast-charging profiles, and thermal runaway safety per DO-311A. - Certification Planning: Structures EASA SC-VTOL and FAA powered-lift type certification programs, means of compliance development, flight test phases, and safety assessments (FHA, FTA, CMA). - Use Case: When designing a UTM service supplier interface for an eVTOL fleet, use this Skill to define the four-layer UTM architecture, communication datalinks, latency requirements, and contingency procedures. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a UTM strategic deconfliction workflow for eVTOL operations in controlled airspace including conformance monitoring tolerances.
