The Florida Department of Transportation has dedicated its SunTrax Air R&D facility in Auburndale to advanced air mobility.

The Florida Department of Transportation’s SunTrax Air research and development hub is to support Eve Air Mobility’s efforts to launch eVTOL air taxi services in the state. The Embraer spinoff announced the initiative with Florida officials on Wednesday at the Farnborough Airshow.

Florida’s advanced air mobility center is part of its SunTrax center in Auburndale for advancing autonomous and connected vehicle technologies in work that also covers ground transportation. The 212-acre SunTrax Air facility includes vertiports, 20,000-sq-ft hangars, high-speed charging pads, and an “aerial test track.”
