The FAA launched the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), a 3-year initiative inviting governments and private partners to test electric air taxis and other advanced air mobility (AAM) aircraft. The goal is to gather data to shape future regulations and demonstrate real-world use cases like cargo and medical transport. Companies like Joby, Archer, Beta, and Wisk plan to participate, aiming to revolutionize U.S. air travel.
