Tax exemptions for new vertical takeoff and landing aircraft

This act expands existing air transportation tax exemptions to include new types of aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing. This means that companies and individuals using these modern machines for purposes such as timber transport, mining, or as air ambulances will be eligible for lower taxes on these services. The goal is to support the development and use of advanced aviation technologies.
Key points
New vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (known as "powered-lift aircraft") will be eligible for tax exemptions previously only applicable to helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
These exemptions will cover air transportation used in mining, timber industries, and as air ambulances, potentially reducing operational costs in these sectors.
The act defines "powered-lift aircraft" as machines capable of vertical takeoff, vertical landing, and low-speed flight, primarily using engine-driven lift for ascent and non-rotating airfoils for horizontal flight.
