Electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft continue to coast forward, and one of the latest landmark achievements from the industry is the first electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) flight in Florida. It’s also the first time that an eVTOL aircraft has taken flight at a major international airport in … [continued]
