Florida will test flying electric vehicles by the end of 2026 using nearly $200 million in repurposed federal funds originally meant for EV charging stations. The Advanced Aerial Mobility program includes building 32 vertical landing pads and focuses initially on the congested I-4 corridor with plans to expand to other corridors as the market matures.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Flying car infrastructure is becoming real in Florida with state-backed vertiport development and federal funds redirected to this new aerial mobility focus. If you build drone-like electric vehicles or vertiport technology, a significant market opening is forming along Florida's congested I-4 corridor.
