The new Orlando-area Lake Nona development is set to be the site of the first vertiport in a planned air mobility network for Florida. In a November 11 announcement, German eVTOL aircraft manufacturer Lilium said it will partner with Tavistock Development Company and the city of Orlando to build a vertiport at the heart of the new residential community as part of the wider Aerotropolis business park, which is adjacent to Orlando International Airport.
According to Lilium, the Lake Nona vertiport will be the first hub for a network that will provide flight connections for more than 20 million Floridians living within a radius of 185 miles. The company says its five-seat, all-electric Lilium Jet eVTOL will be ready to begin commercial operations in 2025. The company is working towards type certification on both sides of the Atlantic under EASA and FAA Part 23 rules by the end of 2024.
