Trump’s Latest EO Just Confirmed My Investment Thesis

Jason Simpkins

Posted June 16, 2025

For over a year now, I’ve been talking about the amazing investment opportunity in what’s now being called the “low-altitude economy.”

Specifically, we’re talking about eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles).

These futuristic flying machines may look odd to some, but they’re taking off in a big way.

They’re efficient, quiet, and clean. And they’re capable of flying as far as 100 miles, at speeds as high as 200 mph. That makes them the ideal candidate to replace loud, gas-guzzling helicopters and forge an entirely new air taxi industry.

And President Trump’s latest executive order just gave eVTOLs even more juice.

In fact, the EO was a smorgasbord of delights for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of all stripes.

First, the order directs the FAA to expand domestic drone operations. It greenlights routine over-the-horizon drone operations for commercial and public safety missions. And it aims to accelerate the development, testing, and scaling of American drone technologies, including eVTOLs.

Secondly, the order establishes a pilot program to hasten the adoption of eVTOL technology, in particular.

And beyond that, some other ancillary points of the EO direct the FAA to adopt AI tools to streamline its review processes and update its plan for unmanned system integration, accelerate domestic production of UAS, promote the export of American drone technology, and expand the role of drones in the military.

So what does this all mean?

Well, in short, the government wants to deploy more drones on U.S. soil.

Several eVTOL companies are set to begin operations this year. This commercial deployment will have them connecting suburban, rural, and urban areas.

Indeed, it won’t be long before you see eVTOLs ferrying passengers around New York City and Los Angeles. Especially now that Trump has cut a bunch of red tape and spurred the FAA to get ready for their arrival.

On top of that, we’re likely to see more eVTOLs deployed on behalf of the government, assisting in cargo transport, medevac, and law enforcement.

And then of course, there’s the military application…

That is, I first found out about eVTOLs from a friend of mine at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Soldiers there have been experimenting with these aircraft for more than a year, using them to conduct patrols and transport equipment around the 470-square-mile base.

They’re also ideally suited for special operations missions because they’re so much quieter than helicopters and other gas-powered vehicles. They also run cooler. That means the aircraft’s electric motor creates a smaller heat signature, making them less of a target for heat-seeking weapons or infrared detection.

Better still, since they can be controlled remotely, you don’t have to risk the life of a pilot to send them into contested areas.

So the military was already keen on eVTOLs — but President Trump’s EO is going to accelerate their procurement.

It’s also going to make sure they’re up and running commercially as soon as possible.

It’s no surprise then that eVTOL stocks shot up 20%–30% last week.

Again, I got my Secret Stock Files subscribers into these stocks at a much steeper discount last year. But there’s still plenty of time to profit.

This is a nascent industry after all. EVTOLs may already be working for the military but they’ve yet to take off commercially.

When they do, they’re going to get even more attention — and their stocks are going to shoot even higher.

So if you haven’t seen my full report on the subject check itout here, while there’s still time.

Fight on,
