HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — State Sen. Marty Flynn (D) has reintroduced legislation to legalize flying cars in Pennsylvania, aiming to position the state at the forefront of transportation innovation. Flynn first proposed the bill in the previous legislative session, where it failed to advance. In a renewed effort, he called for co-sponsors to help make Pennsylvania “one of the first states to introduce this revolutionary technology.”
In his January memo, Flynn said advanced air mobility — a sector that includes small electric aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing — could transform access to emergency services, goods, and regional travel. He argued that forward-looking regulations are needed to integrate “roadable aircraft” into both airspace and roadway systems without jeopardizing safety.
Under the proposal, Pennsylvania would join Minnesota and New Hampshire as the only states that have legalized flying cars. Florida officials, including Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), are also exploring pilot programs for the technology.
Companies such as Archer Aviation are investing heavily in commercial models, while President Donald Trump has endorsed the concept. In June, he signed an executive order directing the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop a national pilot program, which Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced in August.
