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.
