The US Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration recently announced that they will launch a pilot program for advanced air mobility and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft in 26 states to promote the development of new aviation applications such as 'air taxis' and short takeoff and landing aircraft. The US Department of Transportation stated in a declaration that the program aims to accelerate the safe integration of next-generation aircraft into the national airspace system and use real-world operational data to inform future regulatory rules. These aircraft may be used in the future for personal travel, regional transportation, freight, emergency medical services, and other fields.
