(TNS) — Flying car developer Beta Technologies may begin flights to and from the new Springfield electric vehicle charging station soon, according to the Air Force colonel who oversees his service's exploration of the vehicles.
The company has a charging station at the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport for electric flying vehicles, also known as "advanced air mobility vehicles" or simply "air taxis." Ground was broken in December at the airport for what is expected to be an air mobility technology simulator.
