Cherokee Federal, the contracting division of Cherokee Nation Businesses, has introduced the MVP™ (Mobile Vertipad Platform), a patent-pending solution designed to advance air mobility for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and electric VTOL (eVTOL) aircraft.

This rapidly deployable platform combines versatility, efficiency, and robust engineering to support a wide range of sectors, from commercial airports to emergency response and defense operations in challenging environments.

Manufactured in the United States, the MVP stands out for its ability to operate in any condition—whether at a commercial airport, in austere defense zones, or during humanitarian and emergency missions. With a design focused on stability and flexibility, it’s poised to redefine how air mobility solutions are deployed across diverse industries..

The MVP is a versatile, rapidly deployable platform capable of supporting aircraft weighing up to 30,000 pounds on its 24-foot landing surface. Featuring visual and infrared landing lights, it ensures safe operations in any weather condition. Its quick deployment—requiring no pre-prepared surface—allows for swift operational readiness. Whether transported by truck or sling load, the MVP™ offers unparalleled mobility for urgent missions.

Chris Moody, Vice President at Cherokee Federal, said, “MVP™ is a game-changing, transformational solution for mission-critical air mobility that eliminates traditional landing constraints, ensuring safe, stable, and efficient operations in any environment. Its mobility and rapid deployment capabilities make it a critical asset for a wide range of industries and applications.”

The MVP is designed to meet the demands of various industries, offering a reliable and adaptable landing solution for:

  • Commercial and private airport operations
  • High-profile government and VIP transport
  • Military and intelligence missions
  • Emergency response and humanitarian aid
  • Law enforcement operations

Whether deployed in remote disaster zones, urban centers, or harsh environments, the MVP™ ensures a stable and mission-ready platform, advancing the capabilities of vertical flight wherever it’s needed.
