Earlier this year, the Utah Department of Transportation showcased the state’s first demonstration of a vertiport — a major milestone in a multiyear research collaboration with Utah State University.
According to the FAA, vertiports are areas for vertical takeoff and landing, or VTOL, operations — which could apply to air taxis or drone deliveries, among other uses.
While those technologies may still be fledgling, in many respects they are fast approaching, and vertiports may be a key part in helping make them a reality for Utahns.
In this video, learn about USU’s research focus in their collaboration with UDOT for vertiports.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, plus 30 campuses throughout Utah. And as long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.
USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on Homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream — even with a foot of snow on the ground.
