eVTOL is all the rage now. Can it Keep up the momentum? Will it be a viable travel option for any but the wealthy?
Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) and Overair, a developer of advanced electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, have reached a memorandum of understanding to cooperatively explore the future of vertiport development and eVTOL aircraft operations within the DFW Metroplex.
The agreement will create a joint, cross-functional working group to explore the policies and infrastructure needed to implement an integrated, sustainable eVTOL program at DFW in the future. The working group will also investigate the operational procedures, including approach, landing, taxiing, charging, loading and unloading passengers, takeoff, departure and safety protocols required for such a program.
"DFW Airport has a long history of building the groundwork today for the airport needs of the future,” said DFW Executive Vice President, Innovation, Paul Puopolo. “By exploring the future of aviation now, we will help better position the entire DFW Metroplex for the next era of innovative air mobility.”
