Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operates in dense urban environments, where safe landing capability under emergency conditions is critically important. In this paper, the emergency landing problem for an eVTOL-based UAM vehicle is formulated as an optimization problem that incorporates both internal and external constraints. In addition, a convex optimization-based emergency landing trajectory generation method is proposed to ensure computational efficiency and guaranteed convergence.
