Use them together

1

Quantify the opportunity

Use the City Airspace Revenue Calculator to establish how much drone activity your city should expect, what permit revenue it could generate, and how your state compares to the national readiness benchmark. This gives you the numbers to bring to council or budget discussions.

2

Identify where infrastructure goes

Once you know how many vertiports and delivery hubs your city needs, use the Vertiport Planner to find out exactly where they should go. Sites are scored and ranked against FAA siting rules so your planning team works from defensible analysis, not guesswork.
