One of the biggest drawbacks of eVTOLs (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft), besides lack of regulation, is the lack of infrastructure. While working on its own eVTOL, Hyundai has also imagined the first vertiport – and it’s a pop-up one. 6 photos
Hyundai prefers the name Urban Air Port instead of the vertiport term favored by other players in the game. This one is called Air-One, and it will be fully operational in November this year after it was chosen as the winner of the Future Flight Challenge by the UK government. It will be located in Conventry, England, and will take mere days to set up – hence the “pop-up” reference above.
