“AIR Hub will also work closely with Swinburne’s Victorian Hydrogen Hub (VH2) to research and develop capacity for hydrogen storage on aircraft and eVTOL air vehicles, enabling them to make use of green fuels of the future to help meet global zero-emission targets,” Professor Quester said.Īnnouncing the AIR Hub, Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas said, “developing ground-breaking technology in our own backyard will position Victoria as a world leader in the aeronautical industry.” The company said it is focused on introducing a range of Skyportz locations, from existing helipads and airports, on to key suburban and urban locations such as business parks, shopping centres, industrial sites and greenfield city fringe developments. Skyportz is currently working with property owners to establish the landing infrastructure required for the introduction of air taxis in Melbourne. Melbourne-based start-up Skyportz – which is set to develop air taxi landing ports in Melbourne – announced in September a slew of new partnerships to support the entrance of eVTOL vehicles into the Australian market.
