DOT and FAA Select Eight Projects for eVTOL and AAM Integration Pilot Program
These flights will generate real-world data on vertiport ops, airspace procedures, and pilot/controller interactions with novel aircraft types. Expect new NOTAMs, training requirements, and traffic patterns as AAM moves from test to limited commercial use.

The U.S. Department of Transportation and FAA announced selection of eight proposals under the new Advanced Air Mobility and Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP). The projects span 26 states and involve manufacturers, operators, and state partners. Public operations under the program are expected to begin as early as summer 2026, testing integration of eVTOL and other AAM aircraft into the National Airspace System.
