The future of air travel is going to be quite the spectacle.

Last week, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it’s advancing with plans for companies to develop air taxis. It’s not likely to see the skies until 2025 though.

It’s just the latest in what’s to come for air travel and another reminder of something that will surely only be used by the ultra-wealthy for years and years. 

Supersonic jet travel continues to be discussed, with the possibility of that returning to the skies by 2029.

And of course, space travel is the ultimate when it comes to talking about the future of air travel.

But again, without top dollars in your bank account, these new ways to fly will remain just dreams for so many travelers.

Of these three, I’d love to explore space travel the most. However, all of these kind of terrify me and I question how safe will these new ways to fly actually be?

It’s one thing to have an idea, but the execution of these types of air travel, well, they have to be perfect. People’s lives are at stake.  

What do you think of the possibility of air taxis, supersonic jets and space travel?
