State Breaks Ground On Facilities For Emerging Precertified Aircraft
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development has launched LIFTOff Louisiana, a project aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of electric and autonomous aircraft. The initiative is part of the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program and will provide data for the safe integration of emerging technologies into the National Airspace System. The project will span at least three years and is expected to pave the way for the development of electric air taxis and cargo drones. This development was reported by an unknown source.
