Problem
Urban air mobility (UAM) requires vertiports, but traditional designs need extensive land for outwash buffer zones, lengthy construction times, and high costs, making integration into dense city environments difficult.
Solution
Peniel Infrastructure delivers modular vertiport systems that dramatically reduce the required footprint by incorporating a compact outwash mitigation device and underground placement of most components. The design is less than 80 cm tall, saving up to 79 % of construction space compared with conventional buffer‑zone solutions. Modules can be assembled on site within a single day, allowing rapid deployment in existing metro stations, parking lots, building rooftops, or residential yards. The system complies with FAA AC 150/5390‑2C and EB105a standards, providing a certified, safety‑focused foundation for eVTOL operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal transportation departments, city planners, and infrastructure developers responsible for integrating UAM services into metro stations, parking facilities, commercial or government building rooftops, and residential community sites.
