The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority hosted an Advanced Air Mobility Industry Day at the airport Dec. 5 to bring leaders in the industry on-site to see how the airport views the future technology. Those include electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) technologies, which can take off and land vertically.
As a part of its strategic plan, the authority showed multiple conceptual plans on where it could consider placing a vertiport and other facilities. One proposal considers placing an “Aerospace Center of Excellence” where research and development can be done on the airport’s East Airpark property near Narcoosee Road, with a multimodal hub potentially placed next to the Intermodal Terminal Facility where Brightline has a station.
