Integrating Neurosymbolic AI in Advanced Air Mobility: A Comprehensive Survey
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the complex challenges confronting Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) in regulatory compliance, operational safety, and dynamic scheduling. We propose the first systematic neurosymbolic AI framework tailored for AAM, integrating the interpretability of symbolic reasoning with the perceptual learning capabilities of neural networks. The framework targets three core scenarios: demand forecasting, collaborative aircraft design, and real-time air traffic management decision-making. We introduce a novel hierarchical taxonomy that elucidates the distinctive advantages of neurosymbolic approaches in dynamic optimization, robustness assurance, and airworthiness compliance. By incorporating state-of-the-art techniques—including neurosymbolic reinforcement learning—we significantly enhance decision transparency, generalization capability, and formal verifiability. Synthesizing fragmented research efforts and distilling representative technical cases, this work provides theoretical foundations and a clear evolutionary pathway toward trustworthy, scalable, and certifiable intelligent AAM systems.

📝 Abstract
Neurosymbolic AI combines neural network adaptability with symbolic reasoning, promising an approach to address the complex regulatory, operational, and safety challenges in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). This survey reviews its applications across key AAM domains such as demand forecasting, aircraft design, and real-time air traffic management. Our analysis reveals a fragmented research landscape where methodologies, including Neurosymbolic Reinforcement Learning, have shown potential for dynamic optimization but still face hurdles in scalability, robustness, and compliance with aviation standards. We classify current advancements, present relevant case studies, and outline future research directions aimed at integrating these approaches into reliable, transparent AAM systems. By linking advanced AI techniques with AAM's operational demands, this work provides a concise roadmap for researchers and practitioners developing next-generation air mobility solutions.
