Your AAM Vehicle Is Waiting at The Vertiport. Should You Board?
A systemic risk analysis seeks to discover the potential dangers passengers will face when their vertiport is integrated within an airport setting and proposes a plan to mitigate them.
Vertiports will soon be as commonplace in the traveling public’s vernacular as airports are today.
Urban Planners: Consider This Urban Air Mobility Geospatial Decision-Support Tool to Help Decide Where Advanced Air Mobility Operators and Regulators Should Build Drone Ports
Earlier in 2024, a team of scientists from Aalto University and the Finnish Geospatial Research Institute conducted a study which, they hoped, might bring some clarity and guidance regarding where best to locate drone ports. They limited their study to uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) whose diameter was less than 3 meters. The team, Miloš N….
Power Zone: Vertiports Will Need to Amp Up Their Electric Grids
For advanced air mobility (AAM) to advance rapidly, these facilities will need the ability to provide electricity, perhaps in the form of microgrids, to facilitate rapid, easily accessible charging.
