Abstract

This paper analyzes the legal dimensions and regulatory framework of e-VTOL aircraft, providing a comprehensive review of the modifications and adaptations of legislation, while emphasizing the current status and integration issues within urban air transportation systems. Primary focal points encompass the progress, execution, and challenges of regulations established by the FAA, EASA, and state authorities concerning electric vertical takeoff and landing (e-VTOL) aircraft, which are critical for urban air mobility operations in metropolitan setting. These advancements must be incorporated into the urban regulatory framework, encompassing current aviation regulations and the imperative to establish new policies tailored for urban aerial transportation. This study delineates a framework and an extensive overview of regulations for diverse stakeholders, including the aviation sector, policymakers, and urban planners, emphasizing the necessity for a profound comprehension of regulations and the potential of UAM for effective integration into urban mobility systems.
