<p>In current urban air mobility applications, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft face challenges due to limitations in battery technology. This leads to the need for energy replenishment during turnarounds. Balancing factors such as battery performance, operational costs, range, and design cruise speed are crucial for reducing operational costs while meeting performance requirements. To tackle this issue, this study introduces a mission performance model, a cost model, and a battery model that consider these key parameters. By employing multi-objective optimization analysis with constraints on design range, operations, and noise, the goal is to optimize direct operational costs and battery mass. The findings suggest a preference for long-range designs to minimize operational costs within this operational framework. In addition, when a specific design range is established, designs with lower cruise speeds are associated with reduced operational costs but require higher battery charging rates. This underscores the importance of fast-charging capabilities in urban air mobility operational modes.</p>
