Vertiport Simulations acquired by Electro Ventures, to be known as VertiSim by ElectroVentures

Elec­tro Ven­tures has acquired Orlan­do-based Ver­ti­port Sim­u­la­tions and brought the com­pa­ny into its grow­ing port­fo­lio. As part of the agree­ment, Ver­ti­port Sim­u­la­tions will now be known as Ver­tiSim By Elec­tro­Ven­tures.

Announced last week, Ver­ti­port Sim­u­la­tions is a Microsoft flight sim­u­la­tion-based ver­ti­port design com­pa­ny and com­pris­es of Founder Joe Mat­tern, Wayne Smith, Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing & eVTOL Test Pilot, and Richard Doher­ty, Cus­tom Scenery Graph­ics Design­er. The team’s ultra real­is­tic ver­ti­port designs and video pre­sen­ta­tions offer clients sev­er­al ben­e­fits as opposed to tra­di­tion­al archi­tec­tur­al draw­ings.

Addi­tion­al­ly, they can design and turn around changes faster, pro­vide designs more afford­ably and place their client in a VR envi­ron­ment, which allows us through the use of a Microsoft Xbox con­troller, the abil­i­ty to fly into and around their con­cep­tu­al ver­ti­port, well before real-world ground­break­ing occurs, any­where in the world.

Mat­tern said: “Vir­tu­al Real­i­ty head­sets are an incred­i­ble tool and fos­ter the ulti­mate client pre­sen­ta­tion when it comes to ver­ti­port zon­ing and com­pli­ance res­o­lu­tion as well the pro­mo­tion of ver­ti­port invest­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties.

“My team and I are tru­ly hon­ored to con­tin­ue to work with Joshua Port­lock and his team and we are extreme­ly grate­ful for their belief in our sim­u­la­tion based ver­ti­port design capa­bil­i­ties.”

Elec­tro­Ven­tures is the par­ent com­pa­ny of Elec­tro Aero, based in Perth, Aus­tralia. Their charg­ing solu­tions are designed and built exclu­sive­ly for the unique require­ments of their avi­a­tion part­ners.

Elec­tro Aero offers a range of plug in portable charg­ing solu­tions as well as the CCU (Charge Con­trol Unit) that sits on the air­craft. Their  var­i­ous part­ners pro­vide a seam­less inte­gra­tion and turn-key pack­age for air­ports and ver­ti­ports. Elec­tro Aero offer charg­ers which use inter­na­tion­al stan­dards (AS6968) as well as car charg­ing stan­dards (CCS1 and CCS2) to offer flex­i­bil­i­ty to all their cus­tomers.

As well as Elec­tro Aero, oth­er com­pa­nies fea­tured in Elec­tro Ven­tures’ port­fo­lio include Enau­tic, Fly On E, Aqua Flights, Elec­tro Skim­mer, Tiller E Rides and Jump Aero Asia-Pacif­ic
