Transformative VTOL aircraft not only require interoperability with multimodal carriers for true door-to-door service, but they also transform operational infrastructure for refueling, recharging, maintenance, and terminal real estate design and location.

Consideration includes, but is not limited to, traditional intra-supply chain operations, intermodal carriers and associated manifests, route selection and power alternatives, aircraft configuration and performance, emerging technology TRL/MRLs, regulatory certification and requirements, compliance validation, terminal staging, warehousing, infrastructure, container standards, and competitive cost analysis.
