Right now, we don\u2019t have them,\u201d says Skyportz founder Clem Newton-Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With billions being invested in eVTOL aircraft development, Skyportz is pitching Aeroberm as the solution to a major industry bottleneck &#8211; the absence of safe, scalable landing infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-6-xl-font-size\">Aeroberm targets the eVTOL landing challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the talk around eVTOLs is focused on certification, battery technology and <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/news\/vertical-aerospace-piloted-transition-flight-evtol\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"39706\">flight milestones<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. But infrastructure remains an unsolved challenge, with <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/news\/archer-evtol-airports-helipads-infrastructure\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"25461\">early vertiports typically utilising existing heliports.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with that is that eVTOLs risk being limited to places already in helicopter networks. This leads to a rather niche market rather than the flexible air taxi dream we&#8217;ve been sold. Skyportz maintains that for the air taxi concept to really flourish, it needs to have takeoff and landing spots at a similar density to bus stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05crop-1024x724.jpeg\" alt=\"Skyportz Aeroberm evtol vertiport design\" class=\"wp-image-40615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05crop-1024x724.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05crop-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05crop-768x543.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Skyportz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But eVTOLs can&#8217;t land just anywhere. Like helicopters, they produce downwash and outwash. Downwash is the air pushed downward by the rotors, while outwash is the high-speed airflow that spreads across the ground and defines the safety footprint of a landing site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the usual helicopter challenges, eVTOLs also come with the risk of fire from thermal runaway in the lithium-ion battery. And then there&#8217;s the noise; while eVTOLs may be quiet at altitude, they&#8217;re likely to create local noise disturbance when landing and taking off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Noise, fire, outwash, cost \u2014 these aren&#8217;t engineering curiosities. They&#8217;re the reason vertiports aren&#8217;t being built,&#8221; says Newton-Brown. &#8220;Aeroberm addresses all four.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap items-center justify-start -mx-2 mt-6\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/news\/joby-three-new-vertiports-test-flights-dubai\/\"  class=\"btn-ocean  mx-2 my-2  flex items-center flex-row \">\n                                        <span class=\"sr-only\">Also read: Joby announces three new Dubai vertiports and operates first point-to-point eVTOL flight in UAE<\/span>\n                    <span>Also read: Joby announces three new Dubai vertiports and operates first point-to-point eVTOL flight in UAE<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n        \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-6-xl-font-size\">How Aeroberm could make eVTOLs safer and more practical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aeroberm tackles these key issues by making the landing surfaces do the hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outwash is reduced using Aeroberm&#8217;s fractal, angled surfaces to break up and dissipate airflow from the rotors. This turns a strong, organised blast into weak, fragmented turbulence that dies out faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plate-2-1024x615.jpeg\" alt=\"Skyportz Aeroberm evtol vertiport design\" class=\"wp-image-40619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plate-2-1024x615.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plate-2-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plate-2-768x461.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Skyportz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That same irregular surface scatters sound and reduces pressure waves. This reduces the reflection of noise and drives down intensity during landing and take-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inbuilt to the system is an integrated immersion-style fire suppression system, a bit like a dunk tank. In the worst-case scenario, the landing area can be rapidly flooded to immerse and cool the aircraft\u2019s battery system, rather than relying on conventional extinguishing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n  <iframe\n    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Ld4ABAOOSI?si=lVvIVnajQQWm5QWO\"\n    title=\"YouTube video player\"\n    style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"\n    frameborder=\"0\"\n    allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\n    referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"\n    allowfullscreen>\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Aeroberm vertipad has been independently tested by Swinburne University using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the system. The results showed that the design of the Aeroberm surface does indeed significantly reduce outwash strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central to this is Aeroberm&#8217;s fractal panel, which outperforms other surfaces tested. In the CFD study, it dissipated airflow energy 30% faster than grated panels, and 90% better than flat surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swinburne modelling focuses on airflow behaviour rather than acoustics, although the reduction in coherent vortex structures could have secondary benefits for noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-6-xl-font-size\">What\u2019s next for Aeroberm and the future of vertipad infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Aeroberm is now being positioned as a commercially available product, the next phase will be defined by how quickly it can move from modelling to real-world deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Swinburne study provides early technical validation of the concept, but full-scale testing under operational conditions will be key. That includes how the system performs with different aircraft types, in complex urban environments and under varying weather conditions, all factors that are difficult to fully capture in simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also practical considerations. The integration of fire suppression systems, water management, structural loading for rooftop installations and turnaround times between operations will all need to be addressed as part of any large-scale rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05-1024x680.jpeg\" alt=\"Skyportz Aeroberm evtol vertiport design\" class=\"wp-image-40616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05-1024x680.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Aeroberm-Dehli05-768x510.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Skyportz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The regulatory framework for vertipad infrastructure is still evolving. Authorities such as the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/tag\/faa\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"676\">FAA<\/a><\/span><\/strong> and <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospaceglobalnews.com\/tag\/easa\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2086\">EASA<\/a><\/span><\/strong> have begun issuing interim guidance for vertiport design, but a fully standardised, globally aligned framework for eVTOL landing infrastructure has yet to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, many early eVTOL operations are expected to rely on existing heliports, simply because they are already certified and available. But these locations come with limitations, particularly in dense urban environments where space, noise and safety constraints are most acute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is where concepts like Aeroberm could find their role. If systems like this can demonstrate real-world performance and gain regulatory acceptance, they could enable a much denser network of landing sites, bringing the industry closer to its vision of scalable, on-demand urban air mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft may be close to ready.
