en.Wedoany.com Reported - Skyportz, an Australian advanced air mobility infrastructure company, recently reached an agreement with AeroVecto Aviation Services to introduce and test its AeroBerm vertiport technology in the Sultanate of Oman. This initiative represents an initial effort by Oman to evaluate next-generation advanced air mobility ground infrastructure.

Skyportz's AeroBerm vertiport system addresses a key challenge in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations: safely and efficiently managing downwash and outwash. The technology controls airflow to reduce disturbances to personnel, nearby aircraft, and ground equipment, mitigating turbulence effects. This enables vertiports to be located in more compact spaces or sites with superior commercial conditions.

AeroVecto Aviation Services will evaluate the AeroBerm vertiport under actual local conditions in Oman. Testing will include the system's performance under the region's unique high-temperature climate, wind patterns, and operational constraints. The collaboration will involve technical exchanges, site assessments, and controlled testing, providing data to support Oman's exploration of future transportation infrastructure options.

Fahad Al Riyami, CEO of AeroVecto Aviation Services, stated, "Our focus is on understanding what is practical, safe, and sustainable in our environment. AeroBerm offers a considered approach to vertiport design, and this agreement allows us to study its performance in a real Omani setting."

Clem Newton-Brown, CEO of Skyportz, said, "We are delighted to partner with AeroVecto to bring our revolutionary patented vertiport to Oman. Together with our university research partners, we will soon present detailed findings on AeroBerm's capabilities at international forums. The results we have achieved in downwash, outwash, and noise mitigation are significant."

Headquartered in Australia, Skyportz focuses on deploying vertiports required for electric air taxis.
