Israeli electric aircraft developer Air plans to begin manufacturing eVTOL aircraft in Florida by the end of this year under a partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the company announced on August 11.

The company will establish its U.S. headquarters, production facility, and flight operations hub at SunTrax, the state transportation department’s research and development campus in Auburndale, near Orlando. It has already moved into a roughly 20,000-sq-ft space on the 775-acre SunTrax campus, where the company hopes to expand its footprint as operations grow.
