Urban Air Mobility (UAM) offers a revolutionary approach to address contemporary transportation issues and demands, yet the majority of UAM technologies now in use concentrate on conventional landing surfaces. This study of the literature discusses the necessity of expanding UAM landing capabilities to include dual landing and takeoff choices, especially on water, to overcome obstacles like climate-related disasters and geographic limitations, which are particularly important in areas like India. While personal flying machines in regions like Europe and the USA demonstrate technologically advanced aviation infrastructure, Indian aviation industries face unique challenges due to diverse climatic conditions, difficult geographical terrain, and urban population densities prone to natural disasters like droughts and floods. This gap in research prompts exploration and a deep dive into the feasibility and benefits of UAM equipped for dual landing and takeoff. Inspired by natural occurrences like the Gerridae, or water striders, whose remarkable surface tension allows them to move on water, this investigation looks at potential applications of comparable bioinspired concepts to UAM technology. This work explores integrating two landing functions into UAM systems, combining advances in UAM design with studies on water-based takeoff and landing techniques. Furthermore, the research proposes a novel concept idea: a web leg mechanism, inspired by the water striders, to facilitate vertical landing and takeoff on the water’s surface. By integrating insights from biology, engineering, and aviation, this study offers opportunities and guidance for further exploration and development of dual landing and takeoff capabilities in UAM technology.
