Ted Cruz, and Texas Department of Transportation officials attended an event Thursday, Sept. 10, at Fort Worth Alliance, which serves as the launchpad for a statewide pilot program that could result in air taxis, self-piloted planes, and vertical take-off-and-landing aircraft permanently buzzing across the skies of Texas.
It was the first demonstration in Texas of next-generation aircraft under the pilot program. Texas is the sixth state to participate in the program.
