Australian vertiport developer Skyportz has unveiled an innovative patent that addresses one of the most significant obstacles facing urban air mobility: the powerful and potentially dangerous airflows generated by eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Released at the Avalon International Airshow in Melbourne, this innovative approach effectively manages the downwash and outwash effects, having the potential to change the game for aerial transportation in cities.

Advanced Air Mobility and Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft will redefine urban mobility by offering point-to-point aerial transportation. However, their integration into densely populated areas will demand careful planning across three related disciplines: flight corridor design, acoustic impact mitigation, and community acceptance.
