Led by EUROCONTROL, this groundbreaking initiative goals to seamlessly combine air mobility into city landscapes by 2026, addressing the rising want for environment friendly, sustainable, and interconnected transportation options.
The EUREKA challenge is about to revolutionize city transportation by making a community of vertiports—specialised hubs for Electrical Vertical Take-off and Touchdown (eVTOL) plane inside European airspace, connecting city areas, and facilitating swift and eco-friendly transportation. 35 contributors embrace Airport Suppliers, Air Navigation Service Suppliers (ANSPs), U-Area Service Suppliers (USSPs), UAM producers and different stakeholders.
The challenge focuses on creating 4 important SESAR options:
- Arrival/Departure Procedures to/From Vertiports: Encompassing route and trajectory planning.
- Vertiport Collaborative Visitors Administration: Optimizing useful resource utilization and capability allocation.
- Vertiport Disruption and Emergency Administration: Guaranteeing preparedness for unexpected circumstances.
- Vertiport Community Move, Capability & Operational Administration: Enabling environment friendly coordination throughout the vertiport community.
Unifly performs a pivotal function within the EUREKA challenge, holding a novel place throughout the Vertiport Collaborative Visitors Administration (VCTM) initiative, and leveraging its experience to combine vertiports into Unifly’s UTM answer.
The challenge will use licensed unmanned Vertical Take-off and Touchdown (VTOLs) plane for cargo operations to validate VCTM at strategic, pre-tactical, and tactical ranges, overlaying all VTOL flight segments.
Validation and demonstration actions are deliberate between March 2024 and December 2025. The stay trial shall be within the managed airspace between Mallorca and Menorca Islands (Spain), inside lively LEPA and LEMH airports.
Andres Van Swalm, CEO of Unifly commented, “The EUREKA challenge represents a major milestone within the evolution of UAM, and Unifly is proud to be on the forefront of this transformative initiative.
Our UTM options will contribute to making a harmonious and environment friendly airspace, laying the muse for the widespread adoption of UAM and revolutionizing the way in which folks and items transfer inside cities.”
