The US government has greenlit a pilot program for the summer of 2026 to allow eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft and ultralight vehicles to operate in American skies. By bypassing traditional full FAA certification in designated 'Innovation Zones,' the program aims to accelerate the urban air mobility industry and gather critical safety data for the future of flying cars.

The U.S. federal government has greenlit a massive pilot program for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, with tests planned across 26 states starting this summer. Eight proposals were selected to fly even ahead of full FAA certification to accelerate urban air mobility. This national effort aims to prevent fragmented state-level regulations and synergize with ground-based autonomous tech like Zoox's robotaxis, though concerns over noise and privacy remain key public hurdles.
