The leading developers of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft had a busy summer.
The annals of human achievement are punctuated by transformative breakthroughs that redefine the boundaries of what we once deemed possible.
On July 19, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) posted its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) with proposed changes to the airworthiness rules for light sport aircraft (LSA).
This series addresses uses of vertical flight aviation terminology that are unclear or incomplete, and so at risk of being confusing, misleading, unfavorable, erroneous or prejudicial. This installment addresses the misuse of terminology regarding FAA airworthiness certification.
The seventh annual VFS program at the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) XPONENTIAL tradeshow featured a partnership with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) to tackle the integration of advanced air mobility (AAM) platforms into the airspace.
Nearly 1,200 people attended the 79th Annual Forum in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The Biden administration is evaluating candidates to serve as Administrator of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). According to a May 1 report in Axios, the administration views Mike Whitaker as a frontrunner to lead the agency.
With rules yet to be written, aircraft yet to be tested, and public perceptions yet to be determined, aircraft noise poses complex questions for the makers of advanced air mobility.
On March 9, the Biden Administration unveiled its budget request for fiscal year 2024 (FY24). The Department of Defense (DoD) requested $842B for FY24, an increase of $26B over FY23. In terms of vertical lift aircraft, this year’s proposed budget is largely consistent with the request for FY23.
