A main objective of the
collaborative effort is to develop vertiports. This includes researching,
developing, planning, and being part of the construction and operation of them,
with each company bringing its own strength and experience to the effort. Skyway
has vast knowledge of airspace mission planning and management, air traffic
navigation, and unmanned aircraft operations, and Siemens has infrastructure
expertise in electrification, vehicle charging, and facility operations.
Together, the two will work
together to design and engineer a universal eVTOL charging process by
evaluating the charging, power, and software requirements to ensure reliable
and efficient operations. In addition, Siemens and Skyway will collaborate on
innovative ideas to standardize overall vertiport planning and design and
reduce energy consumption.
Sustainable energy solutions
will be the foundation and the necessity for adoption of Urban Air Mobility with the
electrification of eVTOL aircraft,” said Clifford Cruz, Skyway CEO. “Combining
our companies’ resources and industry foresight can influence vertiport
construction efforts and general UAM solutions on an industry-wide scale while
setting a new precedent for modern transportation.”
“It is exciting for Siemens to
contribute to the evolution of the Urban Air Mobility Industry,” said John
Kasuda, Head of Airports at Siemens Smart Infrastructure North America. “The
development and efficient operations of vertiports will require innovative
solutions to meet the expected demands of fast aircraft turnaround times and a
network of varying landing facilities.”
The aviation industry is
evolving with innovations being made in both flight and air traffic operations.
eVTOLs bring a new mobility market that positively impacts communities through
traffic decongestion and connection to areas not well served by the current aviation
system.
