If it’s fully implemented, the new Urban Air Mobility system
could enable air transit for things like package delivery, taxi services,
expanded air medical services and cargo delivery to underserved
or rural communities, the agency said in a statement.

The Grand Challenge series brings together companies developing new
transportation or airspace management technologies, the Agency said.
