The FAA has announced new design requirements for vertiports and infrastructure that will enable Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft. The design guidelines will be the first step in providing critical information to airport owners, operators, and infrastructure developers so that they may begin developing facilities to support the operations of AAM aircraft that are electrically driven and take off and land vertically.
“Our country is stepping into a new era of aviation. These vertiport design standards provide the foundation needed to begin safely building infrastructure in this new era,” said Shannetta Griffin, P.E, Associate Administrator for Airports, FAA.
These Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) operations will transport passengers or cargo in rural, urban, and suburban locations at lower altitudes.
