Eve Air Mobility announced on December 6 that it had signed a deal with Volatus Infrastructure to supply a vertiport automation solution that will support traffic management of future electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles.
“Eve’s new vertiport software solution will enable Volatus to ensure safe, reliable and efficient eVTOL flight operations,” said Grant Fisk, co-founder of Volatus. “It’s vitally important to get these systems up and running so that when the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] approves the first eVTOL vehicle, we are ready to serve them".
“This new software system will be specifically designed to support and maximise the capacity and efficiency of vertiports versus modifying existing software that was designed for other purposes", said Andre Stein, Eve co-chief executive.
