Vertiports are a type of airport designed to facilitate the takeoff and landing of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. They are typically smaller than traditional airports, and are designed to accommodate the unique needs of VTOL aircraft, such as the ability to take off and land in a much smaller area. Vertiports are typically equipped with air traffic control systems, which allow for the safe and efficient management of VTOL aircraft in the airspace. Vertiports are becoming increasingly popular as the demand for VTOL aircraft grows. They provide a more efficient and cost-effective way to transport passengers and cargo, and are seen as a key component of the future of air travel. Companies in the Vertiports market include Uber Elevate, Skyports, Volocopter, and Kitty Hawk. These companies are developing the technology and infrastructure necessary to make Vertiports a reality. They are also working to create the necessary regulations and safety standards to ensure the safe operation of VTOL aircraft. Show Less Read more
