Here Come The Flying Cars! President Trump Issues New Order

I’ve wanted flying cars my whole life and it looks like we might just get them!

Soon!

As in, perhaps by the end of President Trump’s Second Term soon!

That’s what President Trump just green lit and aggressively pushed forward in a brand new Executive Order:

It’s not science fiction either, there are already two main companies that have working EVTOL — Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing aircraft.

And they look like this:

Here’s more on Joby:

And Opener:

And Cadillac:

The tech is here.

The holdup has been regulation, and President Trump’s new Executive Order aims to remove that final barrier.

Here are some of the key parts:

President Trump Signs Executive Orders on Drones, Flying Cars, and Supersonics

WASHINGTON, DC – President Trump has signed three executive orders that will accelerate domestic drone production, secure our airspace, and position America to once again lead the world in supersonic technology.

“Decades of regulatory gridlock have grounded advancements in drones, flying cars, and supersonic flight in the U.S. With today’s EOs, the Trump Administration is giving America’s innovators greater ability to test, develop, and commercialize these cutting-edge aircrafts that will reshape aviation,” said White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios. “President Trump’s actions will unleash a new era of American aviation dominance, fostering innovation, driving economic growth, and protecting our national security.

Burdensome red tape has hindered homegrown drone innovation and grounded progress in supersonic flight for generations. Today’s executive orders accelerate domestic drone innovation, secure supply chains, reduce reliance on adversarial nations, repeal regulations that stalled supersonic flight, and assert U.S. leadership in emerging aviation sectors. They also enable routine beyond line-of-sight operations, which will empower our domestic drone economy to assist with critical infrastructure, emergency response, and long-distance cargo and medical delivery.

The executive orders also create a pilot program testing flying cars, also known as electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, for EMS, air taxis, cargo, and defense logistics. The eVTOL pilot program builds on the successes of President Trump’s 2017 drone pilot program, highlighting how President Trump’s actions continue to put America in a position to lead.

Additionally, these orders address the growing threats from criminal, terrorist, and foreign misuse of drones inside U.S. airspace. This administration is securing our borders against aerial threats by cracking down on unlawful drone activity and prioritizing real-time detection and identification of drones to safeguard national security.

Honestly…I’m excited and I can’t wait to fly to my destination, but these drone-style craft look very clunky to me.

The real revolution will be the anti-gravity technology — which is coming!

But for now, I’ll take what I can get.

Let’s go!
