CONSULTANT CORNER
We see a lot of interest for
from different flight operators.
It's the right time
to ask ourselves how we
develop the infrastructure,
and not only the brick-andmortar
infrastructure, but
the whole infrastructure in
order to incorporate these
things into aviation systems.
Each airport is differPlanning
for AAM at airports
ent. Are we talking about
a landside vertiport located
on top of a parking garage?
Or are we talking about
accommodating these
things on the existing
runways? Do we need a
separate terminal for that?
What about utilities? The
electric infrastructure is a
very exciting conversation
because it's not just installing
electric chargers on the
ramp. It's literally rethinking
how we produce store
and distribute energy at
airports. If we turn electricity into a
fuel, and not only for aircraft, it's also
for electric vehicles on surveillance side
terminals, everything is getting electric
with the electrification of everything.
At some point, we need to ask ourselves,
how do we provide these megawatts
and megawatt hours to the final
aviation users? How can we be more
resilient? Maybe part of the solution
is producing electricity at the airport.
If airports start producing and storing
electricity, becoming more resilient in
returns, they can be leveraged as great
tools within communities.
AB: So microgrids need to be part of
this conversation?
GL: Absolutely. Microgrids and some
of these electric aircraft could be fuel
cell electric, so it's also about hydrogen.
When it comes to electricity,
it's thinking about microgrids, how
to produce electricity at the airport
and how to distribute it to the final
user. Sometimes I hear it's going to
be easy to electrify aviation because
utility providers know how to bring
additional megawatts to a user. That's
true, but airports need to adapt and
upgrade their electrical systems, create
new substations on the ramp and so
on. That costs a lot of money. There's
a bit of capital improvement projects
to plan for and some work to do on
the electrical infrastructure side at
airports in order to bring all of that
to the final aviation user's aircraft on
the ramp waiting for being recharged.
AB: Tell me about the plans you're
involved with to introduce a vertiport
into Philadelphia International Airport
and the goals with the project.
GL: We're working on the airport
master plan upgrade for Philadelphia
