As the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) industry accelerates, the spotlight often lands on futuristic aircraft. Yet, without robust infrastructure, these innovations remain grounded. The development of infrastructure is crucial to support the operational capabilities of these cutting-edge vehicles, enabling them to become a viable mode of transportation. According to an article on AAM Insights, the opportunities and challenges in building eVTOL infrastructure are significant and multifaceted, requiring coordinated efforts across various sectors.

How can the industry bridge this gap? What infrastructure is necessary to support this emerging mode of transportation?

In this episode of “SkyShift,” Martin Richardson and Nicholas Zart, the CEO at Electric Air Mobility look into the intricacies of eVTOL infrastructure. Together, they explore the challenges and opportunities in creating a seamless network for electric air mobility.

Main Points of Conversation

  • Infrastructure Importance: Zart emphasizes the critical role of infrastructure, likening it to the “glue” that binds the entire eVTOL ecosystem together. Infrastructure is the glue that binds the entire eVTOL ecosystem together.— Nicholas Zart, CEO at Electric Air Mobility
  • Global Perspectives: The discussion covers the regulatory landscapes in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, highlighting the varying speeds and approaches to infrastructure development.
  • Future Focus: Zart shares insights on Electric Air Mobility’s strategic focus on secondary and tertiary airports and the importance of partnerships in driving innovation.

Nicholas Zart, the CEO of Electric Air Mobility, has a rich background in mobility devices and electric vehicles. His journey from traditional automobiles to electric cars began in the early 2000s, well before the rise of Tesla. Zart’s expertise spans from pioneering electric car technologies to advancing eVTOL infrastructure. He has collaborated with major aviation authorities and contributed significantly to the development of vertiports and related infrastructure.

EPA’s $251M loan helps fund first local supply for 105,000

EPA’s $251M loan helps fund first local supply for 105,000

EPA approved a $251 million WIFIA loan for the Pure Water Project, an advanced purification plant in Los Angeles and Ventura counties expected to add capacity and reliability for about 105,000 customers and provide the region’s first local water supply. Under WIFIA terms, deferring principal until construction is substantially complete is expected to save about $13.6 million.

  • 01The $251 million Pure Water loan includes deferred principal payments following substantial completion of construction, a structure EPA expects to save about $13.6 million over the life of the loan.
  • 02For a utility planning potable reuse, the repayment calendar is a benchmark worth asking for alongside the interest rate and the loan size.

RIEGL's miniVUX-4UAV drone lidar scans up to 150 times a second

RIEGL's miniVUX-4UAV drone lidar scans up to 150 times a second

In a 120-degree field of view, RIEGL's new miniVUX-4UAV drone lidar captures up to 133,333 measurements a second at up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL lists 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision.

  • 01The miniVUX-4UAV’s upgrade targets its 120-degree field of view, with up to 133,333 measurements a second and up to 150 scans a second. RIEGL’s product page lists the miniVUX-3UAV at up to 100,000 measurements a second at 120 degrees and up to 100 scans a second.
  • 02The scanner's 12 mm accuracy and 8 mm precision are sensor figures. Finished-survey accuracy still depends on the GNSS/IMU, calibration, flight geometry and processing, so the RiLOC-E-25 versus RiLOC-F choice matters more with a sharper scanner.
  • 03On the full datasheet, check the miniVUX-4UAV’s maximum range. The miniVUX-3UAV lists maximum ranges of 170 to 330 m across 100 kHz, 200 kHz and 300 kHz settings (depending on target reflectivity).
