🚁 Vertiport Capacity Planning — 2D

A top-down vertiport ops board where eVTOL air-taxis approach, land, fast-charge, and depart — watch queues form the moment scheduled demand outruns pad throughput and charging capacity.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Turnaround time is boarding dwell plus charge time (energy needed ÷ charger power). Pad throughput scales inversely with turnaround, and utilization above 100% sends aircraft into a visible holding ring.

🎮 How to Use

Set passenger demand, pad count, charger power, and boarding dwell. Watch the live stats and the top-down board — more demand or fewer pads/chargers means longer holding queues.

💡 Did You Know?

Industry UAM studies estimate a single vertiport pad can turn roughly 4–8 flights per hour — so a busy downtown hub needs several pads plus megawatt-class charging just to match one taxi rank.
