Italy: eVertiSKY Unveils Blueprint for Levi-Montalcini Foundation Vertiport

U.S‑based, eVer­tiSKY, led by San­dra For­men­ton CEO, recent­ly unveiled its blue­print for the Turin Levi-Mon­tal­ci­ni Foun­da­tion ver­ti­port, reports a press release.

Active in the UAM sec­tor since 2017, the company’s ver­ti­port designs pri­mar­i­ly car­ried out by Gian­car­lo Zema Design Group are inspired by nature. This design com­pa­ny first came to promi­nence in 2021 after releas­ing a graph­ic design for the breath­tak­ing EHang’s tree-like Baobab Ver­ti­port.

This has a 30 metre high tow­er, a steel and lam­i­nat­ed wood struc­ture with 360° win­dows, along with an inte­ri­or includ­ing a large wait­ing room, café, 200 sq metre panoram­ic restau­rant and con­nect­ing lift. On the roof ter­race there are green areas with seats and three land­ing areas for eVTOLs that are recharged wire­less­ly from the land­ing pad floor, the lat­ter con­sist­ing of the lat­est gen­er­a­tion non-slip pho­to­volta­ic pan­els, able to gen­er­ate over 300 kW with inte­grat­ed LED lights for night light­ing and sig­nage.

The release explains, “The ini­tia­tive con­cen­trates on erect­ing an ele­vat­ed ver­ti­port at the Foun­da­tion’s Exhi­bi­tion and Research Cen­tre. As part of its con­sul­ta­tive strat­e­gy, eVer­tiSKY is poised to pro­vide its exper­tise in deploy­ing ground and air­space archi­tec­ture, hence con­tribut­ing to sus­tain­able infra­struc­ture plan­ning and UAM acti­va­tion.”

It con­tin­ues, “The design of the Levi-Mon­tal­ci­ni Foun­da­tion Ver­ti­port promi­nent­ly fea­tures a tele­scop­ic ele­va­tor and land­ing plat­form catered for eVTOL pas­sen­ger com­mute and car­go. eVer­tiSKY blends bio­mimicry, solar light­ing, and paving mate­ri­als into the ver­ti­port’s design and con­struc­tion.”

San­dra For­men­ton com­ment­ed, “Our vision cen­tres on inte­grat­ing tech­nolo­gies, such as green mate­ri­als and charg­ing effi­cien­cies, into our com­mit­ment towards sus­tain­able urban air trans­porta­tion. The ver­ti­port ener­gy infra­struc­ture hinges sig­nif­i­cant­ly on our invest­ments in research and devel­op­ment.” The con­struc­tion is set to begin in 2024 and reach com­ple­tion the fol­low­ing year.

She con­tin­ued, “As we expand our foot­print into Europe, eVer­tiSKY will be part­ner­ing with the Span­ish com­pa­ny, Bluen­est, to ensure enhanced ver­ti­port oper­a­tions at the Levi-Mon­tal­ci­ni Foun­da­tion.”

Giuseppe Carusi, Chair­man of eVer­tiSKY, added, “The com­pa­ny is inau­gu­rat­ing new ini­tia­tives that involve form­ing alliances with a group of sig­nif­i­cant eVTOL man­u­fac­tur­ers and oper­a­tors. The forth­com­ing projects, soon to be announced, will cre­ate transat­lantic col­lab­o­ra­tions between the U.S and Europe.”
