VoloPort
Description
A flexible landing infrastructure of so-called vertiports is essential for the success of Urban Air Mobility in general and particularly for the operation of air taxis in congested cities. It is this infrastructure that was to be created worldwide for the first time for VOLOCOPTER, pioneer in the field of electrically operated air taxis, and its collaboration partner Skyports: the VoloPort. Thanks to an inviting and open architecture with a high degree of transparency and a consistent visual relationship with the aircraft, an environment was to be designed that conveys both the anticipation of the upcoming flight and its safety. In order to meet the challenges of urban locations, a modular concept was developed, which allows variable configurations at various locations.
Jury statement
Electrically operated air taxis are considered a very promising solution when it comes to reducing the burden on urban traffic flows. The design of the VoloPort looks futuristically modern, pleasantly open and underscores the progressive aspiration of the topic. At the same time, the design suggests a high degree of quality and security with an exclusive lounge style. The VoloPort is an essential component of the revolutionary air taxi system as a landing, starting, and maintenance station and was designed with impressive form and function.
