Such vehicles are intended to be used in the future by services to transport customers to airports or for commuting between nearby cities. Of course, traffic jams will not be a cause for concern for travelers.

The United States Civil Aviation Administration (FAA) and South Korea’s Civil Aviation Administration (KOCA) today announced a cooperation agreement regarding the future development of Advanced Air Mobility.

The agreement provides for the exchange of information about the specific programs and cooperation to improve security levels.

“Working with our international partners to safely integrate these new technologies will create more efficient, sustainable and legitimate transportation options,” said FAA Acting Administrator Billy Nolen.

Many companies around the world are racing to develop air taxis — commonly known as vertical takeoff/landing (eVTOL) flying vehicles — and secure certification from local regulators.

The US FAA has announced similar collaborations with the Civil Aviation Authorities of Japan, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to harmonize the procedures for granting certification to flying vehicles.

Such vehicles are intended to be used in the future by services to transport customers to airports or for commuting between nearby cities. Of course, traffic jams will not be a cause for concern for travelers.
