Atlantic Aviation is embarking on a project to upgrade utility infrastructure and install charging stations at its East 34th Street heliport to support electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft operations.
This project will include a utility upgrade and expects to facilitate technology-agnostic eVTOL operations from the site via the installation of both the Combined Charging System (CCS) and Global Electric Aviation Charging System (GEACS) charging solutions.
Adapting to eVTOL operations
Located on Manhattan’s East River waterfront, Atlantic Aviation’s East 34th Street Heliport (6N5) facility provides support for helicopter operations in and around New York City and serves as a key facility to handle flights for the adjacent NYU Langone Health Centre.
Atlantic is actively working with partners Beta Technologies, Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, and others to understand aircraft needs and adapt the site for eVTOL operations. The project will ensure that all certified and site-compliant eVTOL aircraft can land at the heliport and is expected to be completed in time to align with early eVTOL aircraft entry into service dates.
