Atlantic East 34th St Vertiport Atlantic Aviation is currently redesigning its existing East 34th Street Heliport in Manhattan to become a high-throughput eVTOL vertiport. This project involves a complete layout redesign to accommodate the larger wingspan of electric aircraft compared to traditional helicopters, along with the installation of multi-megawatt charging systems. It is expected to be a primary terminal for the "Valo" (Vertical Aerospace) U.S. tour launching in 2026.

Atlantic Vertiports Portfolio Following the acquisition of Ferrovial’s vertiport division, Atlantic Aviation is identifying "infill" land opportunities across its 100+ FBO locations. The project focuses on Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. The goal is to build modular vertiports that can be quickly deployed at existing airports, providing dedicated gates, charging, and maintenance facilities specifically for electric aircraft operators.

BETA Multimodal Charging Network BETA Technologies has established the first widespread interoperable charging network for electric aircraft in the U.S. These "Charge Cubes" follow the CCS standard and are installed at over 20 airports along the East Coast and Midwest. Each station serves as a dual-use facility, capable of charging both eVTOL aircraft and ground-based electric vehicles. This network is the primary backbone for regional flight testing and early commercial logistics operations.

BETA South Carolina Logistic Hub BETA Technologies has completed a major multimodal charging installation at Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU). This site is a critical node in their "Electric Corridor," supporting both their Alia-250 aircraft and ground-based electric fleets. It is currently being used for cargo-specific flight trials, proving the viability of electric regional logistics before moving into passenger services.

Downtown Skyport (NYC) Formerly the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, this facility is undergoing a massive transformation led by Skyports Infrastructure and Groupe ADP. The project involves upgrading the existing terminal and installing high-power eVTOL charging stations. Once completed in late 2026, it will serve as the primary Manhattan node for air taxi services to JFK and Newark. It is currently a "living lab" for noise monitoring and digital vertiport management systems.

Huntington Beach eIPP Hub As part of the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), Archer Aviation and the city of Huntington Beach are developing a dedicated coastal node. This project is unique because it focuses on "over-water" flight paths to minimize community noise. It will eventually link Orange County to the broader Los Angeles air taxi network, serving as a primary commuter hub for the 2028 Olympic preparations.

Joby-Metropolis Mobility Hubs Announced in December 2025, Joby Aviation is partnering with Metropolis Technologies to convert existing parking structures into AAM "Mobility Hubs." Leveraging Metropolis’ AI-driven recognition technology, these 25 planned sites (concentrated in Los Angeles and NYC) will offer seamless passenger transitions from ground transport to air. The project utilizes underused rooftop space in high-density urban centers, avoiding the need for new land acquisition.

Michigan AAM Mobility Challenge This is a statewide initiative to build a "drone and eVTOL corridor" connecting Detroit’s mobility hubs with regional airports. The project focuses on automated data collection, water sensing, and cargo delivery. It is currently in the pilot phase, with Michigan DOT (MDOT) leveraging existing road intelligence platforms to manage low-altitude air traffic and ground situational awareness.

Monterey Bay Flight Corridor California has allocated $7.5 million to develop the state's first FAA-compliant multi-airport flight corridor network here. This project connects the airports of Marina, Salinas, and Watsonville. It serves as the primary "living laboratory" for Joby Aviation’s flight testing program, documenting how electric aircraft interact with existing general aviation traffic and coastal weather patterns.

Orlando Int'l Vertiport (MCO) Orlando International Airport is currently soliciting developers for a dedicated vertiport on-site. Unlike the city-center hubs, this project is designed for "Regional Air Mobility" (RAM), aiming to connect Orlando to cities like Tampa and West Palm Beach within 45 minutes. While the full commercial launch is slated for 2027–2028, the site planning and power grid upgrades are currently in the final planning stages.

South Florida Air Taxi Network Archer Aviation, in partnership with Skyports Infrastructure, is developing a high-density regional network connecting Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), and West Palm Beach (PBI). This project includes the development of new vertiports at the Magic City Innovation District and West Palm Beach. The network is designed to support 10–20 minute flights across the metropolitan area, significantly reducing travel time for commuters and tourists. Groundbreaking at key nodes began in late 2025, with operations targeted for late 2026.

Springfield-Beckley AAM Center Located in Ohio, this is a premier national center for AAM testing and maintenance. It hosts a specialized eVTOL flight simulator and charging infrastructure used by the Air Force’s Agility Prime program and private manufacturers like BETA and Joby. The facility is fully operational and serves as a blueprint for how regional airports can integrate AAM testing without disrupting traditional general aviation traffic.

SunTrax AAM Test Track Located in Central Florida, SunTrax is the nation’s first dedicated large-scale AAM test track. While originally built for autonomous cars, Florida has invested $255 million to add two vertiports and dedicated low-altitude airspace. It serves as a neutral ground where manufacturers like Archer and Joby can test takeoff/landing precision and noise profiles in a controlled environment. The first vertiport is nearing completion in early 2026.

United-Archer Newark-Manhattan Route This project focuses on the infrastructure required to link Newark Liberty International (EWR) with the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. United Airlines is retrofitting gate areas at EWR to include AAM passenger lounges and transition zones. This specific corridor is serving as the primary test case for FAA "Innovate28" air traffic control procedures, ensuring eVTOLs can operate safely within one of the world's most congested airspaces.
