Resumo
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) emerges as a promising solution to the challenges of congestion and pollution in large cities and is based on the use of Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles. However, the success of its implementation crucially depends on public acceptance, a factor still underexplored in the context of eVTOL studies. Therefore, this research presents a literature review to identify the primary factors influencing the intention to use eVTOLs, aiming to provide strategic data for the future development of UAM. The review categorizes the influencing elements into three main groups: economic and service factors; demographic and socioeconomic factors; and psychosocial factors. Key economic and service determinants include ticket price, time savings, and infrastructure availability. Demographic aspects such as income and cultural context also play a significant role. Critically, psychosocial factors like perceived safety, trust, social influence, and environmental concerns are consistently identified as essential for adoption. It was identified that research in developed countries often points to psychosocial factors such as safety and trust as the primary concerns for users, while studies in developing nations have found that economic factors, particularly the ticket price, are more influential in the decision-making process. It was concluded that a deep understanding of these varied and context-specific factors is essential for developing effective public policies and market strategies to ensure the successful introduction of UAM worldwide.
