Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority have recognised how eVTOL and other Advanced Air Mobility aircraft will significantly benefit the future of air travel.

UK feasibility project for use of electric air taxis secures government research grant

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority recognise the potential of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and other Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) aircraft to significantly benefit the public. To support future eVTOL aircraft development and operation, the U.S. and UK civil aviation authorities are engaged in a range of bilateral and multilateral discussions focused on facilitating certification and validating new eVTOL aircraft, production, continued airworthiness, operations, and personnel licensing. 

As these aircraft enter into the aviation ecosystem, it is imperative to maintain the high safety standards that the public expects. To streamline and expedite integration, this technology should use existing regulatory frameworks on which that strong safety record is founded.

Both regulators recognise AAM is a collection of new and emerging technologies in the existing aviation system. Both authorities have a strong history of collaborating in aircraft certification, airspace integration, operations, and infrastructure, which lead to a safer, more sustainable sector.
