First-in-the-Nation Infrastructure

SunTrax Air is home to the nation’s first AAM Aerial Test Track, a milestone that puts Florida at the forefront of the global race to commercialize advanced air mobility. Spanning approximately one mile (5,850 feet) over the western edge of the SunTrax campus, this one-of-a-kind test track gives operators a dedicated corridor to safely evaluate AAM aircraft performance in a controlled environment and dedicated airspace.  

Designed for the Needs of Tomorrow

FDOT designed the facility from the ground up to meet the evolving demands of an emerging industry, prioritizing flexibility, scalability, and long-term industry relevance at every turn. The result is infrastructure that exists nowhere else in the United States:

  • Multiple vertiports and a soon-to-be constructed elevated vertiport
  • Large-scale maintenance hangars (19,741 square feet each) capable of accommodating two aircraft, supporting AAM aircraft storage, servicing, and repair
  • Brand-agnostic, high-speed charging stations with thermal management systems built for quick turnaround between flight missions, and 100’x100’ charging pads designed to scale with next-generation aircraft
  • A turf runway (100’x300’) accommodating short takeoff and landing aircraft
  • Test aprons for measuring airflow interaction, ground performance, and downwash impacts across multiple aircraft types
  • A 2,800 square-foot AAM Headquarters building featuring a passenger lounge that can simulate real vertiport operations, including security, pilot and passenger briefing, weight and luggage management, and boarding procedures
