This summer, a new generation of aircraft will begin flying across the United States as part of real-world trials designed to bring air taxis and electric aircraft into everyday aviation. The program falls under President Trump’s Unleashing Drone Dominance Executive Order, issued last June.

The trials will span 26 states, exploring everything from passenger air taxis and regional flights to cargo deliveries and emergency medical transport. They will put the futuristic notion of electric “flying taxis” into practice.
