AERTEC is a key member of the eleven-company consortium, which is committed to developing the Urban Air Mobility-UAM concept for Hamburg in Germany.
The tasks completed by AERTEC include:
- Use case and market study, including identifying potential users, aircraft range and payload requirements, and social and environmental standards to achieve public acceptance.
- Legal analysis for aircraft airworthiness, operation and airworthiness (with a special focus on preventing interference with flights at Hamburg Airport).
- Vertiport operations model, including identifying and quantifying the needs (security, facilities management, automation) associated (or otherwise) with the physical infrastructure, and developing a revenue model.
- Design and conceptual layout for a modular vertiport in the urban area of Hamburg (which can be extended to other locations).
This will enable Hamburg to develop a network of vertiports in its urban area, allowing UAM to be implemented as a clean and safe means of transport for passengers and freight, complementing the public transport system.
The project was carried out jointly by AERTEC’s teams in our offices in Hamburg (Germany) and Malaga (Spain).
AERTEC adds value by working closely with clients, providing our extensive knowledge of airports, air navigation studies, aircraft and the systems involved in operating eVTOLs. As a result, AERTEC delivers a combination of specialised aeronautical and multidisciplinary expertise.
