In an inspiring collaboration, LYNEports recently concluded a transformative Vertiport planning workshop at Berkeley University, focusing on vertiport design and planning. This initiative aimed to equip architectural students with cutting-edge skills in urban air mobility, aligning with the latest advancements in the field.

Workshop Highlights

The workshop was conducted in partnership with Dr. Simon Schleicher, a renowned figure in architectural education. The students, who are poised to become the future leaders in architecture, delved into the intricacies of vertiport design, using LYNEports' advanced software to create FAA-compliant, functional vertiport structures.

Participants included third-year undergraduates, master's, and PhD students, as well as professional architects and urban planners. The course provided a comprehensive understanding of the components and circulation programs of vertiports, such as parking stands, landing pads, terminals, and charging stations.

Innovative Learning Experience

The students embraced the LYNEports software with enthusiasm, applying it to design projects that combined creativity with regulatory compliance. They explored various vertiport layouts, assessed site feasibility, and developed material-specific rooftop structures. This practical application was facilitated by providing master students with complimentary access to LYNEports' professional plan, allowing them to hone their skills and produce optimized designs.

Remarkable Achievements

Over the past four months, the students demonstrated remarkable progress. Their projects showcased the versatility and power of LYNEports' software, which helped them create FAA-compliant vertiport designs. This hands-on experience not only enhanced their architectural skills but also prepared them for future challenges in the urban air mobility sector.

Future Prospects

Given the advancements in air taxi deliveries and planned operations in the Gulf region, LYNEports sees significant potential for expanding these workshops. Plans are underway to collaborate with universities in Saudi Arabia and other parts of the Middle East, aiming to inspire more students and professionals in the region.
