Federal regulators have cleared the path for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to share U.S. airspace with planes and helicopters, marking a significant step for the industry.
The FAA's ruling on powered-lift vehicles is historic, as it marks the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years and supports the growth of Advanced Air Mobility operations in the U.S.
The new regulations include specific guidelines for pilot training and operational rules, providing flexibility for eVTOLs to adapt between helicopter and airplane regulations as necessary.
Industry leaders like Joby Aviation emphasize that the new ruling aligns perfectly with their designs and expectations, enabling them to move forward with their urban air taxi plans.
