Flying taxis are taking off in Texas. Is your city next?












If you have ever watched your arrival time creep later while sitting in traffic, flying over it sounds pretty appealing. Texas is now testing what that could look like. Earlier this month, the Texas Department of Transportation launched the first phase of Project Nexus, a three-year program focused on preparing next-generation aircraft for use in Texas skies.

The Sept. 10 kickoff at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport included demonstrations from BETA Technologies and Joby Aviation. Joby brought its electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, better known as an eVTOL. No passengers climbed aboard the initial Project Nexus flights. Instead, Texas is starting to learn how air taxis could eventually fit into the way people get around.
