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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this episode, you will learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Methods to improve vertiports\u2019 energy reliability and sustainability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The potential for small modular reactors (SRMs) as a power source for vertiports<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Considerations into making vertiports convenient and serviceable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How serviceability can impact AAM vehicle design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The role of the digital twin in improving serviceability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/04\/todd_new_200.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Tuthill - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Todd Tuthill &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Todd Tuthill is the Vice President of Aerospace, Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/toddtuthill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Todd on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/08\/john_200.jpg\" alt=\"John Nixon - Speaker\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">John Nixon &#8211; Speaker<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>John Nixon<\/strong> is the Vice President of Energy, Chemicals, and Infrastructure for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/johnnixon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with John on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2023\/01\/headshot_patty_russo-e1675095279335.jpg\" alt=\"Patty Russo \u2013 Host\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Patty Russo \u2013 Host<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p><strong>Patty Russo<\/strong> is Global Marketing Manager for Siemens Digital Industries Software.<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/patty-russo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Patty on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of work needs to be done to build the infrastructure that can support advanced air mobility fleets.
