Companies to Develop Oceana Vertiport Network
Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions (VI&E Solutions), a firm specializing in the development of infrastructure germane to vehicle-agnostic electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aviation, has entered into a joint-venture with Australian-based eVTOL concern Ace VTOL.
The newly-announced undertaking speaks to the two companies’ shared aspirations to establish an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure network in the Oceania region, develop a wheelchair-accessible solar-powered lift, and integrate Ace’s open-sourced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based, Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) architecture for purpose of ensuring safety of flight.
Volatus co-founder Grant Fisk stated: “Working with Brett [Ace VTOL CEO Brett Northey] these last few months has made us realize all the different projects we are able to collaborate on. It’s remarkable to see so many ideas come together and expand when you share core philosophies.”
Mr. Northey echoed Fisk’s sentiments, setting forth: “Our joint venture with VI&E Solutions signifies a decisive first step for the realization of a new transport demographic for people in the Oceania region. VI&E Solutions will enable a connective framework of eVTOL ownership and operations for private and commercial use cases to shorten the distances in our great southern lands. Ace is very proud to be working with Grant Fisk and his visionary team as we collectively look to revolutionize the way people move.”
