NASA Goes Live with Surrogate eVTOL Flight Tests in Texas

A Bell Textron 407GXi helicopter, representing an electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle, flies during a NASA-led test on Oct. 10, 2022. This test gathered essential data about how to manage air traffic for high-demand routes that we will see with the addition of Advanced Air Mobility. This flight is part of NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign research effort, which partners with companies like Bell and others.
