Vertical Aerospace 表示，其全尺寸倾转旋翼飞机在英国民航监管下完成了一次持续的双向垂直与翼载飞行转换，这标志着一项重要的适航认证里程碑。

The Transportation Department announced a new federal program to accelerate electric air taxi certification and deployment.

The federal government has selected eight proposals to test electric vertical takeoff aircraft across 26 states, marking the most ambitious step yet toward commercial air taxi service.

Uber has unveiled its air taxi booking experience ahead of a planned launch in Dubai later this year. Partnering with Joby Aviation, the service will let passengers book electric vertical takeoff flights through the standard Uber app.

While regulatory frameworks for electric air taxis are in place, financial analysis shows most leading eVTOL firms face funding pressure before they can reach profitability.
