A Utah group wants a futuristic system of air taxis to serve Beehive State residents and visitors sooner than you might think.
Before Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, Apollo 11′s lightweight shock-absorbing footpads made their mark in history.
Now, the company that made those footpads is looking to take another big leap in the next frontier of air travel.
Hexcel announced Thursday its partnership with Utah aerospace industry association 47G and dozens of Beehive State-based technology companies to construct “air taxis” — lightweight “vertical takeoff” vehicles that would fly residents and visitors across the Wasatch Front.
