Development of a Turbulence-Based Design Criterion for Vertiports

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 80th Annual Forum and Technology Display
The development of turbulence criteria to provide early guidance for the design of vertiports is presented in this paper. For any aircraft, winds, in particular crosswinds and gusty winds, are top of mind for all pilots engaging in take-off and landing maneuvers. It is anticipated that the same will be true for VTOL and eVTOLs landing on vertiports, in

Design of a Vertiport Design Tool

2020 Integrated Communications Navigation and Surveillance Conference (ICNS), 2020
Advances in technology enable the deployment of an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) transportation system for congested metropolitan areas. A key element of UAM are vertiports, the infrastructure that electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs) use to land and take-off.

Airspace Routing and Automation for Vertiports

2022
An approach is proposed for the design and partial automation of arrival and departure routing at vertiports. Multiple independent routes are provided to promote multiple simultaneous take-off and landing operations. The goal is to resolve conflicts spatially in the vertiport airspace, reducing conflicts in scheduling, en-route and ground-handling ...

Vertiport Passenger Security Standard (VPSS)

Proceedings of the Vertical Flight Society 79th Annual Forum and Technology Display, 2023
This technical paper will propose solutions for developing and implementing biometric driven screening processes for both passengers and employees utilizing or working in Vertiport secured areas. We will explore how biometric-based Vertiport Passenger Security can overcome the limitations of existing airport screening processes by improving accuracy ...

eVTOL Fleet Selection Method for Vertiport Networks

2021 IEEE/AIAA 40th Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC), 2021
To date, there have been over 400 electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) air vehicle designs that vary significantly in terms of design concepts, thrust type, air vehicle size or passenger seating capacity. Our study proposes a method for exploring ranking of passenger eVTOLs for vertiport network routes within large metropolitan regions.
