A new program is underway to test next-generation aircraft. This initiative aims to gather data and improve safety for potential air taxi services. The testing was made possible by a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Transportation Secretary.

The program involves a multi-state effort and could lead to air taxis being introduced nationwide. An executive director expressed pride in leading transportation innovation, seeking new ways to connect people.

Further details about the program, including its goals and timeline, are available from the source. The testing is currently taking place, marking the first phase of the project.
