HEAD ACOUSTICS GMBH

PILOTING EUROPEAN GREEN AIR MOBILITY AND SERVICES FOR URBAN SOCIETAL READINESS

Based based in Herzogenrath, HEAD ACOUSTICS GMBH works in european innovation council.

Profile

Urban mobility across Europe is under unprecedented strain, with congestion, emissions, and infrastructure limitations threatening climate neutrality and liveability. Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) including drones and eVTOL systems, offers a transformative solution for low-emission logistics and services. Yet, widespread adoption depends not only on technical feasibility but also on societal readiness: trust, acceptance, and integration with daily life. PEGASUS addresses this challenge by embedding societal readiness as the central axis of IAM innovation, co-design, and deployment.

Bringing together four of Europe’s leading IAM operators with social scientists, city authorities, and citizens, PEGASUS will pioneer a Societal Readiness Score (SRS) for IAM. Leveraging over 200,000 completed missions and 200 daily ongoing operations, the project will define, test, and improve this multidimensional metric covering noise, privacy, safety, energy, climate, and inclusivity. Real-world demonstrations in Ireland, Portugal, Italy, and Bulgaria will validate technical and operational innovations designed to increase societal readiness, from low-noise propulsion and optimised flight paths to participatory planning frameworks.

PEGASUS will deliver a validated IAM evaluation platform and Societal Readiness Scoreboard empowering policymakers, regulators, and operators with an evidence-based
