The V-CRASH project aims to develop an original calculation procedure to support the design and certification (with CBA – Certification by Analysis approach) of new generation vertical take-off and landing aircraft belonging to the so-called Urban Air Mobility (UAM) category vehicle, with particular reference to crash safety performance (crashworthiness). The proposed procedure will make it possible to configure a specific and also original engineering service which at the end of the research project will be widely validated through the appropriate Industrial Research, Pre-competitive Development and subsequent Industrialization activities.
