The revolutionary potential of eVTOL relies on more than just the aircraft themselves. A comprehensive network of well-designed, electrically powered infrastructure—including vertiports and charging solutions—is just as vital to make this new form of transportation a success.
Strategic Vertiport Locations: Safe and accessible takeoff and landing points in urban and suburban areas or along existing transport hubs.
Electrified Systems: High-capacity, high-speed charging stations and the associated grid upgrades / interconnections required to support high volume eVTOL flight.
Advanced Ground Control: Software, sensors, and telecommunications to manage air traffic flow and communicate with operators."
Passenger Amenities: Comfortable and safe areas for boarding and disembarking.
Meeting the long-term vision of a scalable and fully operational AAM will require increasingly complex operational standards. As the number of aircraft in the sky increases, more automation and data exchange will be required. To enable this high throughput capacity, vertiports will need to utilize sophisticated scheduling and traffic management software. The need for on-site charging must also be done in a safe and secure manner, and at multiple locations to account for the eventual increase in eVTOL traffic.

The initial phase will focus on limited operations, working closely with regulatory bodies and government stakeholders. Early adoption of eVTOL technology might be seen at specific locations with a high demand for reliable and fast transportation, or in underserved areas."
Expect a focus on proving safe, reliable, and efficient operations, which will serve as a foundation for the long-term vision.
Mid-Term

Over the next 5–10 years, we anticipate the expansion of vertiport infrastructure, the development of standardized operations, increased frequency of eVTOL flights, and increased levels of automation."
Collaborative frameworks and data exchanges will be essential for integrating eVTOLs into existing air traffic systems.
Long-Term

In the more distant future, we foresee an extensive network of vertiports and routes throughout the nation, supporting fully integrated, highly automated, and accessible transportation systems."
We are building towards a future where eVTOL becomes a familiar mode of travel for everyday commuters and a valuable resource for various other applications.
Our company’s mission is to alleviate these obstacles of implementation by providing expertise in all of the complex parameters that need to be considered. The team at V.H. can create custom tailored solutions that considers not only the technical aspects, but also the regulatory, social, and economic implications of eVTOL infrastructure implementation. We are committed to guiding our partners through the entire infrastructure implementation process, from initial planning and design to construction and eventual operation.
