stuart-varney and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy discuss the new advanced electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) pilot program by the FAA. Duffy describes eVTOLs as "massive human drones" that will change air travel by moving people and products more quietly and safely than traditional helicopters, and also serve emergency response. He highlights the innovative work at DOT and the recently announced FAA eVTOL rule that will help test these products, potentially changing the world.
