Vigilant Aerospace’s FlightHorizon airspace management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system has been selected as the airspace management system for the Skyway36 droneport in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Skyway36 is a leading droneport in the United States and serves as an “airport for drones” and for larger Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft, like air taxis.
Vigilant Aerospaces’ FlightHorizon airspace management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system has been selected as the airspace management system for the Skyway36 droneport in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Skyway36 is a leading droneport in the United States and serves as an “airport for drones” and for larger Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft, like air taxis.
The facility offers hangar and office space, with vertical takeoff pads for any type of rotary-wing aircraft. Additional space is devoted to aircraft refueling, parking, and an Osage Nation-owned 40-acre industrial park that will hopefully be devoted to advanced aerial manufacturing in the coming years. ` As a part of Skyway 36, the Nation has been on the hunt for traffic management systems, hoping to secure the local airspace and institute some kind of control scheme before it gets too crowded. They picked Flight Horizon to do the honors, an uncrewed traffic management system created by Vigilant Aerospace. The system will help bolster Skyway 36’s case as the premier “airport for drones” and later AAM aircraft.
