The charging system

Volatus Power charging, onboard

The AC-16 and every Aureum vertiport design use Volatus Power charging technology, built on the patent-pending e-cellerate power-conversion architecture. Twin AC inputs support on-grid and off-grid power. Each unit uploads charge and self-diagnostic data to the cloud after every charge.

FAQ

Q

What is the AC-16 droneport?

The AC-16 is a 16 foot, road-towable, drone-agnostic droneport built by Aureum Mobility with manufacturing partners WiscoLift and Volatus Power. It carries onboard battery storage, Volatus Power multi-modal fast charging, deployable lighting, and a 2 to 8 degree Celsius cold chain configured per mission. It is designed for same-day setup.

Q

What does it take to deploy an AC-16?

A half-ton pickup to tow it, a two-person crew for setup, and a clear site. The unit is designed for same-day deployment with no airport, vertiport, or grid connection required.

Q

What FAA rules do flights from an AC-16 operate under?

Flights operate under the operator’s own FAA authority. Drones under 55 pounds fly under Part 107, with visual line of sight by default and beyond visual line of sight by waiver. Aircraft over 55 pounds operate under a Section 44807 exemption with a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization. Aureum designs sites and operations to fit those pathways; operating certificates belong to the operators who fly.

Q

Can the AC-16 charge more than drones?

Yes. The Volatus Power multi-modal charging architecture scales to ground EVs and heavy fleet vehicles, so the same unit that runs an air route can support the vehicles working around it.

Q

What charging technology does the AC-16 use?

Aureum deploys Volatus Power charging technology in the AC-16 and in every vertiport it designs. The system runs on Volatus’ patent-pending e-cellerate power-conversion architecture with remote monitoring that supports pre-failure component swaps, is engineered toward a 99 percent uptime target, and is backed by nationwide service teams.
