6 days agoFAA launches flying taxi pilot program spanning 26 states
The FAA is launching pilot projects across 26 states to test electric air taxis and advanced aircraft, with operations beginning by summer 2026.
For a pre-revenue company burning through roughly $126 million per quarter in cash, the narrative around FAA certification progress, Hawthorne Airport integration, and 2026 guidance will matter far more than any headline loss figure.
Supernal's chief strategy officer Jaeyong Song and chief safety officer Tracy Lamb are no longer with the company, the startup confirmed Friday. Lina Yang, the chief of staff to Suprernal's recently-departed CEO Jaiwon Shin is also out. (Yang had previously served as Supernal's "Head of Intelligent Systems" until April 2025.) "As we transition to new leadership, we have taken the opportunity to strategically review our program's progress and next steps to ensure alignment with our long-term goals," the startup said in a statement to TechCrunch.
