Skyportz unveils patent-protected vertipad animation to reduce eVTOL downwash and outwash

Skyportz released an animation showing its patent‑protected modular vertipad design intended to mitigate eVTOL downwash and outwash, saying the concept eases vertiport siting in urban locations. The PCT-protected patent has entered national phases in Australia, the U.S. and China amid FAA guidance requiring wind‑safety zones beyond landing surfaces.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The vertipad targets eVTOL downwash/outwash called out in the FAA's Engineering Brief 105A; Skyportz says the PCT-protected design has entered national phases in Australia, the U.S. and China, signalling an intent to shape vertiport standards.
  • The animation and modular-pad concept provide practical inputs for vertiport siting and design and complements industry resources such as the Quick Infrastructure Guide for eVTOLs.
  • Patent positioning and prototype design work could influence where and how vertiports are built, relevant to ongoing deployments like the Skyports vertiport at Bicester Motion and regional safety harmonization efforts.
