Volatus and Neurobotx begin Metapilot buildup of first 900 vertiports

Vola­tus Infra­struc­ture & Ener­gy (VI&E) Solu­tions has formed a part­ner­ship with Neu­ro­botx to be the first ver­ti­port on the Boe­ing-backed Metapi­lot plat­form, which will gen­er­ate syn­thet­ic data for real world eVTOL oper­a­tions.

Metapi­lot will help cal­cu­late where best to posi­tion ver­ti­ports to expe­dite trav­el time with­out com­pro­mis­ing safe­ty. The Metapi­lot plat­form aims to sim­u­late 900 ver­ti­ports in key loca­tions across the globe with Metaverse’s com­mon part­ners across gov­ern­ment, cor­po­ra­tion, investor and reg­u­la­to­ry bod­ies.

Users will soon be able to inter­act with a ver­ti­port for the first time and sim­u­late take-off and land­ing with unprece­dent­ed accu­ra­cy on the Metapi­lot game web­site for free.

Dan Sloat, CEO of VI&E Solu­tions, said: “The incred­i­ble advance­ments in dig­i­tal twin tech­nol­o­gy allows the AAM indus­try to approach ver­ti­port devel­op­ment as a com­pli­men­ta­ry ele­ment in a mul­ti-modal trans­porta­tion sys­tem rather than a series of iso­lat­ed projects. We look for­ward to insights from the Neu­ro­botx experts and the greater Metapi­lot com­mu­ni­ty.”

Neu­ro­botx CEO Dr Diana Deca added: “We are hap­py to onboard VI&E Solu­tions as the first ver­ti­port on our Metapi­lot plat­form.

“For the first time in his­to­ry, we will be able to sim­u­late with up to 1m accu­ra­cy, start­ing in Man­hat­tan, where to posi­tion the ver­ti­port world­wide as per our part­ners request, how all air taxi mod­els will take-off and land on them.

“We will sim­u­late charg­ing and stor­age, and reduce con­ges­tion and pol­lu­tion, gen­er­at­ing new jobs and poten­tial­ly sav­ing lives with med­ical, secu­ri­ty and defence appli­ca­tions.

“Our board mem­bers, who are AAM lead­ers from Boe­ing, NASA and the US Air Force, will help us fur­ther inte­grate ver­ti­ports and air taxis and cre­ate real­is­tic finan­cial and busi­ness plans for our clients and investors.”

Found­ed in 2020, Neu­ro­botx is the Boe­ing-backed AI launch­pad for air taxis and ver­ti­ports. It has not only enhanced safe­ty and effi­cien­cy but also accel­er­at­ed the real­i­sa­tion of future mobil­i­ty.

In June, Ace VTOL joined forces with Neu­ro­botx to unveil the Trin­i­ty eVTOL, which com­bines the exper­tise of Ace VTOL in air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ing with the advanced soft­ware capa­bil­i­ties of Metapi­lot.
