Proposed FAA rule for beyond visual line of sight drone operations

BVLOS

On August 5, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) introduced a transformative Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) aimed at enabling routine beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations.

How will the airspace of different countries be regulated if a flying car wants to make an international journey?

The idea of flying cars, once confined to the realm of science fiction, is now steadily transitioning into reality. With rapid technological advancements and major companies like Uber, Airbus, and Boeing investing heavily in vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles, the future of urban air mobility is closer than ever. However, as these innovations progress, a critical question arises: how will flying cars navigate and integrate into existing airspace systems?

The Dawn of Urban Air Mobility: Challenges and Solutions

By 2024 or 2025, eVTOL developers expect their aircraft to be certified as airworthy and safe to fly. While there is no immediate need for new standards to kickstart operations, regulators and industry stakeholders are collaborating to define customized norms, paving the way for fit-for-purpose facilities and airspace.

Israel uses airships to protect airspace

The method is relatively old, but it works well: an extensive radar system is mounted on a platform that resembles an airship, making it efficient but cheap to operate. The system, known as the High Availability Aerostat System (HAAS), has not been given too many specifications, but it is a very large device. The device, operated by the Israeli Air Force, is said to be one of the largest of its kind.
