Powered-lift aircraft, such as electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis, are the FAA’s first new category of aircraft since helicopters were introduced in the 1940s. At least some of those state-of-the-art aircraft could have state-of-the-art internet.
Archer Aviation on Friday revealed plans to integrate and test SpaceX’s Starlink internet service on its flagship Midnight. The company envisions providing high-speed connectivity for the air taxi’s four passengers as they make short hops between airports, downtown areas, and event venues in cities such as New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.
