Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) President and CEO Eric Fanning expressed support for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) new rulemaking on powered-lift integration. The FAA's recent announcement addresses the incorporation of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technologies into the National Airspace System.

Fanning stated, "We commend the FAA for paving the way for eVTOL technologies to safely integrate these operations into the National Airspace System." He highlighted that this development "sets the stage for the future of powered-lift as another example of U.S. leadership and innovation."

The AIA, along with its members, is committed to continued collaboration with the FAA to explore future opportunities in this area. "AIA and our members remain committed to ongoing collaboration with the FAA to advance the exciting possibilities for the future," Fanning added.
