It’s a bird…it’s a plane…no, it’s an air taxi and it’s coming in to land soon, prompting cities across the United States to get ready for airborne urban travel.
Nobody yet knows exactly what an air taxi even is, how it might look or who will get to use it, but cities know it’s on the way and want to be ready for takeoff.
None of the small, electric aircraft in development has yet won full U.S. regulatory approval, but the process is underway, with some companies vying to fly as early as next year.
“This is coming sooner than a lot of people think,” said Jacques Coulon, mobility innovation manager for the city of Orlando in Florida.
