The U.K. is developing an urban airport for flying cars and drones. Will other countries follow suit?

The engineering giant expects the first commercial use of small aircraft powered by its battery systems to take off within three to five years.

In September, the airline pledged to buy 1.5 billion gallons of SAF over the next 20 years from Chicago-based company Alder Fuels.
