Advanced Air Mobility: officially signed the Memorandum between Softech and UrbanV, the Italian vertiport management company.
Softech environmental systems chosen to monitor eVTOL acoustic emissions
The Softech environmental monitoring system was chosen by UrbanV to evaluate the effective sustainability of flying taxis inside vertiports, aerodromes equipped for the take-off and landing of eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing), electric vehicles that therefore do not emit polluting substances and designed to also minimize noise emissions.
The signing of the memorandum of understanding between UrbanV and Softech is aimed at carrying out preliminary studies, acoustic measurements and the supply of the SARA system; the latter will be integrated into the IT platform developed by UrbanV for the management of vertiports.
Our thirty years of experience in the airport environmental monitoring sector will allow us to design and implement a performing system, adapted to the new needs of a mobility that did not exist before; a real challenge also for us who are particularly proud to participate in a project of this magnitude.
In Italy, the urban mobility revolution has already begun: it is estimated that in ten years, millions of Italians will have easy access to these platforms, and flying in the city will no longer be science fiction. The first flight (demonstration) took off from Fiumicino in 2022 and, already by 2024, the first air taxi from Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport to the center of Rome is expected.
It is a smart and green system, a more sustainable solution for urban transport: Ispra data reveal that the transport sector in Italy is responsible for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions; of these, over 90% are attributable to road transport. Focusing on electric flying taxis could therefore represent a green turning point for urban transport as it is able to improve the accessibility and mobility of cities, metropolitan areas and territories, the quality of the environment, life and the safety of citizens.
