What it means
Directs government agencies to accelerate the integration of drones into American airspace. The FAA must issue new rules for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations within 240 days and establish an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) pilot program to support advanced air mobility applications.
Expected impact
- Faster approval of commercial drone operations in US airspace, especially for delivery services, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response
- Support for American drone manufacturers through export promotion and restrictions on foreign-made drones
- Creation of new jobs in drone technology and manufacturing sectors
- Improved military capabilities through expanded drone use and training
- Enhanced global competitiveness for American drone technology
- Streamlined regulatory processes using AI tools to review waiver applications
- New opportunities for rural and urban transportation through eVTOL aircraft development
