The three-year Advanced Air Mobility and eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, stemming from a 2025 executive order, lets these companies test eVTOL aircraft before receiving full regulatory certification. Applications span urban air taxis, regional flights, cargo delivery, and emergency medicine. Notable partnerships include the Port Authority of NY/NJ testing concepts from a Manhattan heliport, and Texas DOT connecting Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston via air taxi networks. Beta Technologies said the program accelerates its operations by one year, and its stock jumped nearly 12% on the news. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
