Previous research established a method for calculating vertiport capacity requirements, emphasizing efficient fleet generation and operational optimization. This study builds upon that work by incorporating maintenance cycles for each fleet vehicle. Its primary goal is to identify necessary maintenance capacity and its distribution across a UAM vertiport network, based in Hamburg City, Germany.
