The agency said demonstrations at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport involve BETA Technologies, Joby Aviation and the Texas Department of Transportation. The project is part of the federal eIPP framework for advanced air mobility testing.
According to the FAA, the Texas programme is intended to support regional air taxi links connecting Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and, later, Houston. Jobyโs aircraft is also expected to fly a roundtrip between Alliance Airport and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to test operations between major airports.
The FAA said data gathered from the demonstrations will inform future regulations for the safe integration of advanced air mobility services into the national airspace system.
