Oct 30, 2024, 02:17 PM

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released new rules for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft last week, marking the first entirely new category in air travel in 80 years. This development paves the way for air taxi operations, which have been in development for over a decade. UrbanLink plans to launch an all-electric air taxi fleet in Miami by summer 2026. The new regulations bring Americans closer to riding public air taxis, highlighting the progress in sustainable aviation technology. An innovative single-person air taxi designed for efficient urban travel is also part of these advancements.
