Urban-Air Port Wins Backing from Hyundai for Network of Ground Hubs
The UK start-up will build 65 of its compact "urban air ports" in partnership with eVTOL developer Hyundai, as part of wider plans to build 200 landing sites worldwide.
Hyundai’s new Urban Air Mobility Division is joining forces with UK start-up Urban-Air Port to develop 65 ground facilities for eVTOL aircraft, drones, and other electric vehicles in the U.S., Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Over the next five years, Urban-Air Port aims to build 200 sites worldwide, and it intends for many of these to be integrated with other modes of transportation.
According to Urban-Air Port, it is designing its facilities as modular hubs that can be installed in compact spaces. They will provide off-grid charging and maintenance for any type of eVTOL aircraft or drone as well as for electric cars, buses, or scooters.
