Vertiports

HELITECNICA’s aluminum vertiports are an excellent option for those looking for a safe and reliable landing solution for their aerial vehicles. Our vertiports are manufactured with high quality materials and are designed to withstand the most extreme weather conditions

Our vision

Our vertiports are easy to install and maintain

We have our eyes set on the future. Urban Air Mobility introduces a revolucionary approach to urban transportation and medical emergency response, a new breed of vehicles has emerged: VTOL-capable aircraft (VCA). These aircraft, unlike traditional airplanes or helicopters, boast Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities, paving the way for air taxis to navigate city skies. Moreover, powered mainly by electric motors rather than combustion engines, they contribute to a more eco-friendly future.

As proud pioneers in infrastructure solutions for the future of Urban Air Mobility, our expertise lies in producing cutting-edge aluminum platforms that seamlessly integrate VTOL aircraft into urban landscapes. Engineered to accommodate a wide range of VTOL aircraft, our Vertiports prioritize safety, scalability, and user experience. We provide complete design and structural analysis services for these Vertiports. Our Aludeck® aluminum planking system ensures easy assembly and maintainance, ensuring a durable and lightweight platform suitable for almost any building’s rooftop, facilitating the necessary infrastructure for Urban Air Mobility.

Regulations

Our vertiports adapt to current regulations

As Urban Air Mobility takes flight, compliance with reputable aviation authorities such as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) becomes paramount. The world of Vertiports and VTOL aircraft is rapidly evolving, and as these advanced technologies push the boundaries of traditional aviation, regulations are continuously refined based on empirical evidence and performance-based assessments.

As the industry matures and autonomous technologies demonstrate their capabilities, regulations will evolve to accommodate the gradual transition towards unmanned flight. This approach ensures a measured and secure introduction of autonomous systems, safeguarding both public safety and the advancement of Urban Air Mobility. Vertiport size, markings, and lighting systems have been standardized. However, the specific requirements for firefighting systems are still under study. Given the widespread adoption of electric propulsion and battery energy storage in VTOL aircraft, addressing the challenges of managing fires caused by lithium batteries or other emerging battery technologies is a top priority for regulatory bodies.

Safety

Our vertiports are safe

Among the crucial aspects addressed by regulations are proper zoning and obstacle management. Designating appropriate areas for Vertiport operations and ensuring clear flight paths are paramount to prevent potential conflicts and maintain orderly aerial traffic. Striking a balance between urban integration and airspace safety is essential to harness the full potential of urban air mobility.

With the increasing presence of VTOL aircraft in urban skies, avoiding in-air collisions is of utmost importance. Stringent regulations mandate advanced collision avoidance systems, ensuring that these aircraft can navigate congested airspace with precision and safety. . By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and communication protocols, the risk of mid-air incidents is significantly minimized.
