FAA Partners With Electra For eVTOL Integration Pilot Programme
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a series of hybrid-electric demonstration flights to test connections between smaller airports and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Conducted by Electra in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), the flights are part of the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Programme (eIPP). The programme aims to assess the safe integration of advanced air mobility aircraft into the US National Airspace System. This development was reported by an unknown source.
