Streamlining Integration of Advanced Aviation Technologies (Drones, Air Taxis)
This law aims to accelerate and standardize the process of integrating advanced aviation technologies, such as drones and future air taxis, into U.S. airspace. It establishes new structures within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to streamline certification and ensure the safety of these systems. For citizens, this means the faster emergence of new transport and logistics services while maintaining high safety standards.
Key points
The FAA establishes new offices and coordination units dedicated solely to the safe integration of advanced aviation systems (e.g., autonomous aircraft, drones).
Changes are introduced to speed up the approval and certification process for new technologies, potentially accelerating the development of services like drone deliveries.
Requires a secure, unified online system for all FAA applications and certifications, increasing transparency for entities seeking authorization.
