Peter and Jenny exchanged views with experts from regulatory bodies like NASA, FAA, and CASA; discussed aircraft-infrastructure interface standards with low-altitude aircraft manufacturers from various countries; and shared implementation experiences with infrastructure operators from Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Indonesia, India, the USA, the U.K., and the UAE in the Middle East.
During the summit, Mr. Clem Newton-Brown attended as a distinguished guest. The interactions with the HAYLION team escalated from "bilateral talks" in Shenzhen to a "public joint appearance on the international stage" in Japan. Every joint appearance by Clem, Peter Sharp, and Jenny sent a powerful message to the industry: a Western company with globally advanced vertiport technology and a Chinese tech firm with local execution capability and ecosystem resources had formed a deep strategic alliance.
They articulated the same core viewpoint from different angles: that AAM success requires infrastructure first, and it must progress in sync with aircraft development and regulation. Clem addressed technical standards and global property networks, while Peter shared insights on collaborating with governments and regulators to expedite project implementation. This organic synergy significantly enhanced the credibility and appeal of both parties within the industry.
As a key contributor to China Shenzhen's low-altitude infrastructure standards, HAYLION provides a replicable and scalable "China Solution" for large-scale low-altitude economic development. Shenzhen's comprehensive VTOL infrastructure system emphasizes systematic planning, guidance, support, and agility, forming a "Site Pool + Guidelines + Policy Package + Demonstration Project Repository" framework to ensure high-quality implementation.
The design of low-altitude vertical take-off and landing infrastructure hinges on "precision infrastructure planning." By leveraging urban data and spatial digital technologies for virtual modeling, we evaluate airspace capacity, population coverage, and traffic flow to achieve scientific site selection and layout optimization. Building on this foundation, stations are intelligently integrated into the urban fabric, ensuring seamless connectivity with public and private transportation systems. The ultimate objective is to establish a multi-layered ground–air integrated mobility system encompassing "ground–low altitude" travel. This low-altitude vertical take-off and landing infrastructure is structured as the VERTI‑X system, categorized by function and scale into: VERTI‑HUB, VERTI‑PORT, and VERTI‑STOP.
