Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have the potential to transform urban and regional transportation by offering faster, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional ground transport.
Many of those burgeoning start-ups dabbling in eVTOL concepts have been frustrated at the FAA’s proposal to create an all-new category of aircraft, claiming that it would slow down progress.
That's not just bad news for the eVTOL company, but also awful timing. It comes on the heels of the US FAA issuing new regulations governing "power-lift" (aka VTOL) aircraft earlier this week.
