While the US administration supports Advanced Air Mobility development, simultaneous EPA rollbacks eliminating greenhouse gas oversight could force vertiports to rely on fossil fuel-powered electricity, undermining AAM’s environmental promise and triggering public backlash.
The aviation infrastructure landscape is evolving from single-purpose vertiports to multiports that combine eVTOLs, electric short takeoff and landing aircraft, conventional planes, and ground transportation. This integration solves the financial viability challenge that has plagued standalone vertiport concepts.
