Why it matters: Former President Donald Trump’s ambitious plan for “freedom cities” with flying cars gains a new perspective as Dr. Michael Salla, an internationally recognized authority on extraterrestrial research, signals potential involvement. This development could bridge conventional aviation technology with advanced aerospace research.
The Vision: The Hill reports that Trump’s proposal includes using 3.2 million acres of federal land to build up to ten “freedom cities” featuring advanced transportation systems, including electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). The plan aims to revolutionize American urban development and transportation.
