The USA Air Force is on track to buy and start fielding its first electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft that could carry passengers or cargo under the Agility Prime program in 2023.

This year, the service is bringing these “flying cars” to more exercises and demonstrations as it gets airmen — and the public — used to the concept.
The Air Force’s proposed fiscal 2023 budget asked for $3.6 million in Agility Prime’s first procurement funds, which it would use to buy five of the eVTOL aircraft.
