Vertiport

A vertiport (verti- is for vertical and port for harbour, analogous to airport) is a future, as yet rarely realised concept of a take-off and landing site for electrically powered aircraft taking off and landing vertically, eVTOL craft. It can be part of a vertihub if there is a large volume of air traffic. A vertiport is similar to a heliport or helipad.
