WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Monday issued the airworthiness criteria that Archer Aviation will need to meet for its M001 air taxi to be certified for use.
The FAA released the criteria for public comment for Archer’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to be certified after it made a similar announcement in November for Joby Aviation’s Model JAS4-1 eVTOL. Archer said earlier this month it is working to win FAA certification of its eVTOL in late 2024.
