Siemens and Skyway are working together to determine the\nelectrical and digital infrastructure needed to support vertiport operations.\nVertiports are hubs for VTOLs (vertical take-off and landing vehicles) such as\nair taxis and drones. The scope of collaboration involves both companies\nresearching the energy demands of vertiports and developing sustainable electrical\nsupply, standard charging processes, and a system of systems to support\naircraft operations. Innovation around vertiport infrastructure will be\ncritical to the future scalability of electric vertical take-off and landing\n(eVTOL) flight operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A main objective of the collaborative effort is to develop\nvertiports. This includes researching, developing, planning, and being part of\nthe construction and operation of them, with each company bringing its own\nstrength and experience to the effort. Skyway has a vast knowledge of airspace\nmission planning and management, air traffic navigation, and unmanned aircraft\noperations, and Siemens has infrastructure expertise in electrification,\nvehicle charging, and facility operations. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, the two will work together to design and engineer\na universal eVTOL charging process by evaluating the charging, power, and\nsoftware requirements to ensure reliable and efficient operations. In addition,\nSiemens and Skyway will collaborate on innovative ideas to standardize overall\nvertiport planning and design and reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sustainable energy solutions will be the foundation\nand the necessity for adoption of Urban Air Mobility with the electrification\nof eVTOL aircraft,” says Clifford Cruz, Skyway CEO. “Combining our\ncompanies’ resources and industry foresight can influence vertiport\nconstruction efforts and general UAM solutions on an industry-wide scale while\nsetting a new precedent for modern transportation.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is exciting for Siemens to contribute to the\nevolution of the Urban Air Mobility Industry,” says John Kasuda, Head of\nAirports at Siemens Smart Infrastructure North America. “The development\nand efficient operations of vertiports will require innovative solutions to\nmeet the expected demands of fast aircraft turnaround times and a network of\nvarying landing facilities.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aviation industry is evolving with innovations being\nmade in both flight and air traffic operations. eVTOLs bring a new mobility\nmarket that positively impacts communities through traffic decongestion and\nconnection to areas not well served by the current aviation system. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
