'We are now going to become the leader in advanced air mobility.'

The Legislature has passed a bill to usher in the era of flying vehicles.

“Welcome to the age of the Jetsons,” Sen. Gayle Harrell said.

The bill’s passage comes as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was selected this week to be one of eight new sites for the federal government’s Advanced Air Mobility and Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
