Manufacturers of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs, now have the opportunity to conduct test flights of their devices in the USA. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This was reported by TechCrunch. This opportunity is provided within the framework of a new pilot program initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Through this program, eVTOL technology will be tested under various real conditions before obtaining full certification. This creates the necessary conditions for startups to perform different operations, assess safety, and determine technical capabilities.
According to the FAA, participation in the program is voluntary, and accepted companies operate based on established requirements. This solution helps bring new aviation technologies to the market faster and significantly shortens the certification process.
As a result, innovation development and safety improvement in the eVTOL sector are expected.
