The @VTOLsociety is the world's leading advocate for advancing #VerticalFlight. We are very appreciative of Rep. Rich McCormick's support of vertical lift and the US Army-led Vertical Lift Research Centers of Excellence (#VLRCOE) program. More funding is needed to meet the needs of the VTOL community, including #FutureVerticalLift (#FVL) and #eVTOL / #AAM!
