Drones and Vertiports

Created in partnerhsip with DriveOhio. In this lab students are invited to pioneer the future of transportation by designing vertiports for drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. This initiative not only celebrates Ohio's rich aviation heritage but also propels it into the forefront of advanced air mobility (AAM). Students will conceptualize vertiports that cater to a new era where drones streamline package delivery, flying taxis become commonplace, and remote areas gain access to healthcare supplies via the air. Through this challenge, imagination and creativity are harnessed to envision and construct models of vertiports, which are essential for supporting the next generation of air mobility.
