Description

Auto-translated from German

As part of the DLR internal research project VERTIFIED, a modular vertiport research infrastructure is to be established at the Cochstedt site. The aim is the physical implementation of two demonstrators, with which future concepts of innovative air mobility can be investigated, tested, validated and demonstrated under realistic conditions. The infrastructure is intended to support two demonstrator configurations: • Urban vertiport demonstrator for mapping vertiport-related operational and infrastructure concepts in an urban, model-like environment. • Vertiport demonstrator at the airport for investigating the integration of vertiport-related processes into existing airport or apron infrastructure. Both demonstrators serve to investigate take-off and landing procedures, ground processes, passenger and cargo processes, safety and monitoring functions, meteorological recording, energy and charging processes, and the integration of digital services.
