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.

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock Group executives Enrique Zavala and Brent Roscoe argue scaffolding belongs in the BIM model from the start of an industrial project. BIC Magazine reports one Brock 3D model replaced more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours with under 25 hours of rework. Peer-reviewed studies support BIM-based planning and forecasting, while noting scaffold modeling and laser scanning still demand specialized skills.

  • 01On one three-month project, BIC Magazine reports, a Brock 3D scaffold model left one minor field change and under 25 labor hours of rework against more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours.
  • 02A 2017 IAARC paper found scaffolding is usually left out of the BIM model, and a June 2024 MDPI case study found scan-to-BIM needs specialized equipment and skills, so the gains are not automatic.

CivDot robots shift surveyors to control and spot checks

On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor's work shifts to setting control and spot-checking the machine's marks.

  • 01On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor keeps the control network and the spot checks, the two tasks that decide whether thousands of machine-set marks are right.
  • 02Autonomy is furthest along where work is risky or expensive for people: offshore, underground and on utility-scale solar layout. Routine low-risk jobs are adopting it more slowly.
