Aviation is going through its most significant architectural shift since the jet engine, and the shift is electric. Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft — once dismissed as "flying car" novelties — have moved into active flight testing, multi-stage government certification, and, in a handful of cases, real ticketed operations. What started as a cluster of well-funded startups chasing a single vision (a piloted air taxi for city commuting) has broadened into a genuinely diverse industry: urban air mobility, airport-to-city connectors, regional transportation, autonomous cargo delivery, emergency medical response, defense logistics, and even consumer flying vehicles.

A Shopify Plus migration that goes sideways doesn't usually fail during the build. It fails three weeks after launch, when a checkout extension breaks during a flash sale, or when the agency that built the site has moved on to the next client and nobody on the merchant's team can safely touch the theme. That gap — between "the site looks great in the demo" and "the site holds up on Black Friday, integrates cleanly with the ERP, and can be handed off without a six-figure re-platform two years later" — is exactly what separates a Shopify development partner from a general web design shop.
