☆ New regulations push electric ‘air taxis’ closer to reality, FAA says
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-22 | by ( Pete Muntean | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —The Federal Aviation Administration has published new rules that it calls “the final piece of the puzzle” toward allowing half-helicopter, half-airplane, electric “air taxis” to start whizzing through the skies. “For the last 80 years, we’ve had two types – rotor and fixed wing,” Whitaker said. “We now have a third type.”Known as electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs, the FAA now recognizes the designs as falling under its newly created powered lift category. Joby hopes to bring its aircraft to market by 2025, but it has yet to be certified by the FAA to carry paying passengers. “Delivering the rules ahead of schedule is testament to the dedication, coordination and hard work of the rulemaking team.”

One expert said eVTOLs fly at low altitudes and could create airspace and security challenges. The US's first electric vertical-takeoff and -landing aircraft are expected to fly commercial passengers as soon as 2025. It still needs further approvals to fly for airlines like United, but the latest certificate puts it one step closer. Archer's Midnight aircraft are typically shorter range, with the Midnight flying up to 100 miles on one charge. Joby plans to use the four urban vertiports as a citywide commercial eVTOL air link around Dubai.

Oct 10 (Reuters) - Kerrisdale Capital said on Tuesday it had taken a short position on Joby Aviation (JOBY.N) over profitability concerns, sending the electric aircraft maker's shares down nearly 5%. California-based Joby said Kerrisdale has a "vested interest" in lowering its share price. Joby plans to operate like a rideshare app, unlike other electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) peers that intend to sell their aircraft to customers including airlines and logistics firms. Kerrisdale warned of higher operating costs as the company's electric aircraft are likely to offer lower range and power than traditional helicopters. The U.S. aviation regulator in June gave Joby, which is backed by investors such as Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), Toyota Motor (7203.T) and Intel Corp (INTC.O), the nod to flight-test its electric air taxi.
