eVTOL aircraft may still feel futuristic, but it’s here. And the infrastructure needed to support eVTOLs is already in conversation. ✈️🔋

From air taxis and cargo delivery to emergency response, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft could change how people and goods move across a city — and how properties are designed to accommodate aviation.

Our latest blog explains the technology behind eVTOLs, the different aircraft designs, current battery challenges, and where this emerging technology could be headed.

If you’re a property owner, developer, or aviation professional, now is a good time to understand the basics.

Ever heard the term "eVTOL" and wondered what it actually means?

You're not alone. Flying taxis, air taxis, electric aircraft—there's a lot of buzz, but not a lot of clear answers.

We just published a complete introductory guide that breaks down:

✅ What eVTOL stands for (electric vertical takeoff and landing)
✅ How they work—vertical takeoff, transition to forward flight, and electric propulsion
✅ The difference between VTOL and eVTOL (Harrier Jump Jet vs. modern electric aircraft)
✅ Why batteries are the biggest technical hurdle
✅ The 3 main design types: multirotor, lift+cruise, and tiltrotor
✅ What they'll be used for—air taxis, cargo delivery, and emergency response

Planning a new helicopter landing facility and aren’t sure if a helipad or vertipad is the right call?

Start with the aircraft. 🚁

The type of aircraft your facility needs can influence much more than the landing surface.

Your project may need to account for:
✅ Landing-area geometry
✅ Fueling or charging infrastructure
✅ Fire protection and site safety
✅ Lighting and markings
✅ Downwash and outwash
✅ Electrical capacity
✅ Future operations

The earlier these considerations enter the planning process, the more flexibility your project team may have.

Helipads vs. vertipads—which one fits your project? 🤔

🚁 Helipads = For helicopters
🔋 Vertiports = For electric air taxis (eVTOL)

But choosing the right facility involves more than the aircraft.

Project teams also need to consider:

• Aircraft type and intended use
• Landing area and site design
• Fueling and electrical infrastructure
• Lighting and markings
• Future operational needs

Whether you're planning a new facility or evaluating existing infrastructure for VTOL operations, understanding these considerations early can help you make informed decisions.

Not every helicopter landing facility is built for the same purpose. 🚁

A hospital rooftop, corporate campus, urban helicopter facility, and offshore operation can have very different needs.

So how do you know whether a helipad, heliport, or helideck makes sense for your project?

We break down the key differences, common uses, and factors to consider when choosing the right landing facility.

What’s the difference between a helipad, heliport, and helideck?

Most people think "helipad" covers everything—but that’s not true.

We broke down the differences in our latest blog, like: where they’re used and what infrastructure they typically include.

Check it out and let us know: which one surprised you most? 👇

Planning a helipad? Start with these 5 questions.

✔️ Is the location the right fit?
✔️ Can the structure support the aircraft?
✔️ Are approach and departure paths clear?
✔️ Is the design aligned with FAA guidance?
✔️ Will the helipad meet future operational needs?

No two facilities are exactly alike, which is why thoughtful planning is the foundation of every successful helipad project.

When every second counts, a well-designed hospital helipad helps first responders and medical flight crews do what they do best. 🏥🚁

Behind every hospital helipad is careful planning—from rooftop space and structural capacity to patient transport routes and adherence to FAA advisory circulars. Every detail helps support safe, efficient patient transport when it matters most.

Why do many modern helipad projects use aluminum?

It's lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed for durability—making it a practical choice for hospitals, rooftop facilities, offshore platforms, and other demanding environments.

Another advantage? In regions that require snowmelt systems, aluminum helipads provide easier access for maintenance. Unlike concrete pads, a snowmelt system issue doesn't necessarily mean shutting down the helipad or relying on manual snow removal while repairs are made.

At FEC Heliports, every aluminum helipad is designed, manufactured, and installed in-house to help ensure quality from start to finish.
