Trump Greenlights Flying Car Revolution: Executive Order Launches Groundbreaking Pilot Program
The skies just got more crowded—and not with private jets full of crypto bros dumping bags.
President Trump''s pen strikes again, this time authorizing a federal flying car pilot program that could reshape urban mobility. No more gridlock—just airborne chaos waiting to happen.
Vertical takeoff meets political liftoff
The order bypasses typical regulatory paralysis, fast-tracking test flights in select cities. Early prototypes suggest these vehicles will cost more than your average DeFi rug pull—with similar crash risks.
Infrastructure or insanity?
While technologists cheer, urban planners groan. The program''s budget hasn''t cleared Congress yet—probably getting jammed up with next year''s $10 trillion meme coin bailout package.
One thing''s certain: if this works, Lambo dealers better start building rooftop showrooms.

The orders get rid of stifling red tape but also address a growing threat
A White House report has confirmed the orders enable routine beyond line-of-sight operations, which will empower the domestic drone economy to assist with critical infrastructure, emergency response, and long-distance cargo and medical delivery.
They will 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 pilot program is a brainchild of the successful drone pilot program Trump championed in 2017, drawing attention to how President Trump’s actions continue to put America in a position to lead.
The orders get rid of decades of red tape but more importantly, they 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,” the White House said.
The U.S. is taking drone threats very seriously
While Trump’s executive orders encourage innovation, it appears this batch aims to protect the country from ever-evolving threats.
The war in Ukraine has shown the world how useful drones could be in a military or terrorist attack. There also have been reports of espionage cases where drones were used to surveil sensitive sites and smuggle drugs over the border.
With major events like the World Cup scheduled in the U.S. next year, it has become crucial to protect the airspace above large public events. A federal task force will be created to review drone threats and existing terrorism task forces will look at drones.
“Drones are a disruptive technology. They have an amazing potential for both good and ill,” Sebastian Gorka, senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council, said. “We will increase the enforcement of current laws to deter two types of individuals: evildoers and idiots — the clueless and the careless.”
The FAA has already been testing systems to detect and counter drones and authorities are weighing whether to deploy high-powered microwaves or laser beams to disable the devices.
Law enforcement agencies also may receive additional training on how to use drones themselves to ensure safety around major events.
