Addressing strict battery and environmental constraints in AAM, this study develops an autonomous emergency landing system. By coupling wind-aware power modeling with real-time vertiport congestion analysis, the algorithm filters unreachable ports and selects the safest landing site, providing critical decision support for operators during in-flight emergencies.
