Description: NASA’s vision for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) is to map out a safe, accessible, and affordable new air transportation system alongside industry partners and the FAA. An important aspect of AAM is the development of vertiports. Most early cases of vertiports will occur at existing airports. Down the road, AAM vehicles will use their unique performance capabilities to land on the top of buildings or other spaces in crowded urban areas. In this episode of NASA's Advanced Air Mobility Playbook, Subproject Manager of the High Density Vertiplex Project, Marcus Johnson, explains the role that vertiports will play. nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/features/aam-plans-for-vertiports.html
