Florida opens eVTOL testing site in Polk County to advance flying cabs and ease I-4 traffic.
Florida has launched a testing facility in Polk County to advance electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or flying cabs, as part of a push to reduce traffic congestion along the I-4 corridor.
The site, featuring two vertiports, will support private companies in developing and commercializing the technology, with a focus on short-distance urban trips under 60 miles.
Governor Ron DeSantis and state officials emphasize the initiative’s role in positioning Florida as a leader in advanced air mobility, aligning with federal FAA pilot programs.
Testing will evaluate safety, infrastructure, and public acceptance, with supervised trials expected by 2026.
