Aircraft takeoff and landing apparatus
An apparatus for facilitating the landing and takeoff of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (EVTOL) can comprise a moveable landing platform, a moveable charging assembly comprising a high voltage cable adapted for electrical, magnetic induction positioned within a vertically moveable column having a magnetic plate and multiple access connections, and weight sensors positioned on the landing platform. The weight sensors are operatively connected to the charging assembly such that when the sensors detect the landing of an EVTOL on the platform, the sensors trigger the charging assembly to rise up to contact the EVTOL and begin charging the EVTOL.
