The VTOL – capable aircraft corresponds to the ‘’Category Enhanced’’ as defined by EASA in SC-VTOL. The specifications mentioned are developed for manned VTOL-capable aircraft (EASA operations Type 3).
For VTOL’s operations, a new airspace concept has been introduced; it is a funnel-shaped area above the vertiport, designated as an obstacle-free volume. It is directly related to this type of aircraft’s vertical and take-off landing. In some urban environments, omnidirectional trajectories to vertiports could also exist. These methods can take into account environmental and noise restrictions more effortlessly.
