Rethinking Infrastructure for AAM Part Two – Inside AAM
A lot of work needs to be done to build the infrastructure that can support advanced air mobility fleets. Ensuring there are enough vertiports in a city, as well as guaranteeing their reliability and maintainability, will be key to making AAM a convenient and profitable mode of transportation. What are some ways the developers behind AAM can achieve this?
In this episode, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace and Defense for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined again by John Nixon, Vice President of Energy, Chemicals, and Infrastructure, to continue their discussion on AAM infrastructure. They dive into different methods of powering vertiports, the ideal places to build vertiports, how the digital twin can optimize AAM serviceability, and more.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Methods to improve vertiports’ energy reliability and sustainability
- The potential for small modular reactors (SRMs) as a power source for vertiports
- Considerations into making vertiports convenient and serviceable
- How serviceability can impact AAM vehicle design
- The role of the digital twin in improving serviceability
