Sita and Urban-Air Port (UAP) have joined forces in a new collaboration to pioneer integrated, scalable, and passenger-centric urban air transport.
The partners claim electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTols), enabled by smart vertiports, promise to reshape short regional journeys, cutting carbon emissions, saving time, and alleviating pressure on existing infrastructure.
Patented vertiport technology
Sita reckons its technology will help leverage Urban-Air Port’s patented vertiport technology, which delivers ultra-compact, high-capacity infrastructure for cleaner, better connected multimodal hubs for passenger and cargo with civilian and defence applications.
UAP’s “Vertical Airfield” innovation, 80 per cent smaller than conventional airfields, supports safe, quiet hybrid VTOL operations at height with modular, scalable designs and integrated energy storage, enhancing passenger experience and sustainability.
