‘Not Just For The Jetsons’: Trump Lifts Regs On Drones, Supersonic Flight, Opens Door For Flying Cars

President Donald Trump signed several executive orders on Friday, lifting regulations on aviation technology and working to boost American manufacturing of drones.

The trio of orders lifts regulations that had made domestic production of drones costly, prioritizes the usage of American-made drones by federal agencies and provides for the creation of a grant program for U.S. authorities to buy drones, according to NOTUS. The American drone industry had in recent years been struggling to compete with that of China, The Wall Street Journal reported.

“Red tape has hindered homegrown drone innovation, restricting commercial drone use and burdening their development,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, said on a call with reporters previewing the executive orders and discussing the potential promotion of flying vehicles. “Flying cars are not just for the Jetsons, they’re also for the American people.”

“President Trump is Making Aviation Great Again,” according to a White House Fact Sheet regarding the executive orders. “Advances in aerospace engineering, materials science, and noise reduction now make supersonic flight not just possible, but safe, sustainable, and commercially viable,” the sheet said.

The orders will also lower the cost of production for drones in America and allow companies to create a framework for drone delivery services, NOTUS reported. The orders remove longstanding government restrictions regarding noise pollution due to ‘sonic booms,’ allowing more supersonic flights to travel over land.

Well....you just HAD to mention that...LOL...time for an Albion Wilde-found graphic....

[SaveFerris]

So Tom Cruise will be on one of those in his next film?

I hope they can fly to a charging station out there....

Cool stuff, though

Cool. But my first thoughts were criminal escape vehicles, and military swarm assault teams.

Trump’s Futuristic “Quantum Leap” Plan Captivates … and Raises Questions

…In his announcement of the plan, Trump said it would include building futuristic cities, known as “Freedom Cities,” on federal land; equipping these cities with air mobility via vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles.

It’s going to really screw up the Agenda 21 plans.

criminal escape vehicles, and military swarm assault teams.

LOL! Yes, I think I've seen that. Assault team swarming an escaping criminal:

There are about 16,000 car crashes every day. Some from mechanical error some from human error.

Now imagine flying cars crashing to the ground.

Unless someone develops fail-safe anti-gravity flying cars, flying cars will should remain in the realm of cartoons and science fiction.

Also flying car is a misnomer. These cars are less like cars and more like mini-planes.

[lee martell]

Add flying cars to the short list with flamethrowers as items 99.999% of the public doesn’t need and should never be using

Flying cars! Great! After 40 years, it's about time. I love these visuals:

Hey Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Roads? Where we're going we don't neeed roads.

DMC

What's with all these 'realistic' images making it look like the waves are crashing down on Moses, verses curling back?

I had to go over to the kids' projects for the right effect, direction:

Back to the Future - VHS Ending

That's right. It's all in the timing. Just ask a comedian:

Flying out after 40 years:

Release date
July 3, 1985
Running time 116 minutes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Future

116 reverses to 611 (heh, or 911 depending), so it's just like I've been posting (for even more eyeroll generation), that

the Torah is an art and a science:

art [אמנות] + science [מדע] = Torah [תורה]

497 + 114 = 611

But hey, anything but the basics [of love] because "math is hard."

Yet it really is the Power [💗²] of Love because

Just as I happened upon this thread, the word from Waylon started playing in the background:

We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones'
Four-car garage and we're still building on
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

What's in a name:

Luckenbach (/ˈluːkɪnbɑːk/ LOO-kin-bahk)

Citizens of the town claim a resident (Jacob Brodbeck) launched the first airplane years before the Wright Brothers.

Remember Lot's wife?

Forward is the Way 2 Go to get back to the basics.

💗² = solid foundation

Revolutionary!

They better have auto pilot AI.

[Haddit]

AI is already replacing us in the workforce.
I made an almost realistic movie with Google’s AI.
Musk says everyone is going to own a robot and his robots are quite impressive.
Searching for robots used in agriculture there is even one with tethered flying drones picking apples.
I saw one roofing a house with shingles.
I already 3D print most of what I need instead of going to Home Depot.
One of the biggest challenges EVTOLs have is making them light enough to qualify as ultralights so
people don’t need a pilot’s license.
EVTOLs will be used as flying taxis for the Los Angeles Olympics.
Some of them like China’s EHang have a map where you type in your destination and it flys you there.
You will be able to have an EVTOL deliver packages without a person onboard.
Many have a deadman’s switch that lets the EVTOL just hover if you let go of the stick.
Some have collision avoidance systems.
A Chinese national couple was hit with criminal charges for allegedly smuggling a dangerous
fungus into the US capable of destroying crops and poisoning humans and livestock.
It looks as if bioweapons are going to kill millions of people.
Covid is looking like it was a test.
Climate alarmism is intended to huddle the masses in apartment buildings where you can only go
where public transportation takes you.
Here are where the violent crimes are in Los Angeles

This map shows you the demographics of people in Los Angeles.

Whoever was running the White House let millions of illiterates into our country.
They hate Whites and infiltrated our government and institutions with DEI.
So, we won’t have jobs and evil people want to kill us, but we can fly.
EVTOLs will allow us to buy houses in very rural areas and live off the land.

[Magnum44]

Woohoo

[Bernard]

Flying Cars - a new shiny toy for Elon to get distracted with. Hopefully no IRS subsidies; just real-world economic market rules.

[left that other site]

I WANT ONE!!!!

[plain talk]

Maybe so but they first need to fix issues with air traffic control and make aviation safe again for normal planes.

[BipolarBob]

What does EVTOL stand for?

[Haddit]

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing

[bigbob]

I want the kind that folds into a briefcase

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I live on the second floor of a two-flat. Whenever I hear about flying cars, I always imagine one crashing through my picture window.
