Ohio has submitted an ambitious plan to federal regulators to launch a regional medical transport system using electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft within just 90 days of approval. Led by the state’s transportation department and backed by a $1.2 billion infrastructure foundation, this initiative unites four states and major tech partners like Joby and BETA Technologies to solve urgent healthcare logistics.
The proposal aligns with national directives to establish American leadership in advanced aviation, aiming to serve as a scalable model for the entire country. By focusing on immediate operational results across state lines, the coalition intends to prove that the future of zero-emission flight isn’t just a concept—it’s a ready-to-deploy solution for critical public service and life-saving business aviation.
