Air taxis to start taking to skies as pilot projects approved, Bloomberg says

Electrically powered air taxis will start taking to the skies in some states and cities across the U.S., including in New York, after the government approved several pilot projects under a program meant to accelerate their integration into the U.S. airspace, Bloomberg’s Allyson Versprille reports. The U.S. Transportation Department said Monday that it selected eight proposals under the so-called advanced air mobility and electric vertical takeoff and landing integration pilot program. The selected projects will span more than a dozen states, the department said in a statement shared with Bloomberg. They include a partnership between the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and companies Joby Aviation (JOBY), Archer Aviation (ACHR) (AVHR), BETA Technologies, and Electra.aero.
