Summary/Abstract: Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is a modern solution to urban transportation challenges, offering a promising alternative to traditional modes of travel. This paper investigates the state of the art of this alternative solution and a system prototype proposal in the context of Albania. Several challenges such as vortex wake & jet blast phenomena, wind risk, obstacles, and regulatory legislation are addressed through an analysis. The idea behind this proposal is to innovate traveling in Albania through UAM using special air taxis. In the proposal is suggested to establish two vertiports at Tirana airport and one in the city, which will serve as key hubs for air taxi operations. From an economic perspective, the introduction of UAM can stimulate economic growth by attracting tourism, generating employment opportunities, and new opportunities for local businesses. Moreover, UAM has the potential to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable urban environment. By ensuring a good implementation, it can enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
