Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods of providing improved solutions for aviation transport networks, particularly for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, are provided. For example, a method for generating a network of skylanes for eVTOL aircraft travel in a particular geographic area includes accessing airspace data (e.g., aircraft track data and/or restricted zone data) defining an available portion of the particular geographic area for the eVTOL aircraft travel. The airspace data is used to compute skylane route data for a particular skylane defined by a plurality of waypoints in three-dimensional space between a first vertiport location and a second vertiport location for the eVTOL aircraft in the particular geographic area. The skylane route data can be added to a network of available skylanes and selected for deployment of a particular eVTOL aircraft.
