The FAA in October 2024 published a\u00a0special federal aviation regulation<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>(SFAR) with seismic implications for the aviation industry\u2014a framework for the early integration of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.<\/p>\n

As 2026 begins, these new entrants, capable of both vertical lift and wingborne flight, may be months or even weeks away from flying in a city near you.<\/p>\n

Electric air taxi manufacturers Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, and Beta Technologies believe they are nearing type inspection authorization (TIA) testing\u2014a critical phase of the type certification process during which FAA test pilots evaluate the aircraft. Boeing\u2019s Wisk Aero, which in December completed the\u00a0first flight<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of its autonomous Generation 6 air taxi, is not far behind them.<\/p>\n

But before TIA, these manufacturers may have an opportunity to fly aircraft in real-world settings\u2014with real infrastructure and airport personnel\u2014should they be selected for the\u00a0eVTOL Integration Pilot Program<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(eIPP).<\/p>\n

The eIPP, unveiled in September, will run for three years and comprise at least five projects.\u00a0According to the FAA<\/a>,<\/span> eIPP participants may even be able to conduct operations for revenue\u2014something they are unable to do under existing flight test and market survey programs.<\/p>\n

But before we look ahead to 2026, let\u2019s recap the most active year in electric air taxi flight testing so far.<\/p>\n

New Highs in 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

The past year saw several electric air taxi developers hit key milestones and perform more real-world testing than ever before.<\/p>\n

Beta Hits 100,000 Miles<\/strong><\/p>\n

None were as visible as Beta, which conducted public demonstrations with its Alia conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) at airports across the\u00a0U.S. and Europe<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beta surpassed 100,000 nm across its test aircraft in 2025, most of them with the Alia CTOL. But many of the design\u2019s features\u2014including its proprietary H500A engine\u2014are shared by the vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) variant of Alia, which the company aims to certify about one year later. It has assembled conforming motors that are undergoing for-credit testing and will soon be installed on TIA- and eIPP-ready aircraft.<\/p>\n

Beta CEO Kyle Clark said last year\u2019s highlight was flights into the highly controlled airspace of John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), and Le Bourget Airport (LFPB) in France, where\u00a0FLYING<\/em>\u00a0watched Alia\u2019s\u00a0opening demonstration<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>at last year\u2019s Paris Air Show.<\/p>\n

During those flights, Clark said the aircraft coordinated with air traffic controllers and other airport personnel, as well as FBOs and ground systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are places where you have to absolutely know your energy, your reserve requirements, and your reserves,\u201d said Clark. \u201cYou have to have really good communications, which means there can\u2019t be any static. The radios have to be sharp. They give you one chance to get your instructions right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beta has also gotten the CTOL in the hands of intended customers such as Bristow Group, UPS, and Air New Zealand. Clark said one Air New Zealand pilot even used Alia to complete a commercial check ride at the company\u2019s Vermont training center.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a whole \u2018another maturity step to hand your baby off to somebody else to fly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Beta\u2019s Alia VTOL flew less than the CTOL in 2025. But the year prior, it achieved a piloted transition from hover to forward flight\u2014the defining feature that separates VTOL designs from the rest.<\/p>\n

Joby Makes the Transition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joby achieved its\u00a0first piloted transition<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in 2025, which chief test pilot James \u201cBuddy\u201d Denham said in December marked \u201cthe most extensive and rigorous flight testing in our history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s aircraft covered about 9,000 miles across more than 850 flights last year, which it said dwarfed 2024. Many flights included piloted transitions. The company also threw the air taxi some curveballs, such as disabling propellers to gauge how it handles contingencies.<\/p>\n

Among the flights were public demonstrations at Japan\u2019s Fuji Speedway and the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. Joby also flew during the Dubai Airshow following months of testing in the deserts of the United Arab Emirates, during which it completed the UAE\u2019s first piloted, point-to-point eVTOL flight.<\/p>\n

Before that, the air taxi flew between Marina Municipal Airport (KOAR) and Salinas Municipal Airport (KSNS) at the California International Airshow, and between Marina and Monterey Regional Airport (KMRY) in August.<\/p>\n

Joby also conducted the maiden flight of a hybrid-electric variant in November, just three months after announcing the concept. Over the summer, it logged 7,000 miles on a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan equipped with its Super pilot autonomy system.<\/p>\n

Archer Reaches New Heights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Archer had been conducting autonomous testing until June, when it reached a milestone of its own\u2014the start of piloted flight testing.<\/p>\n

Pilots were able to take the company\u2019s Midnight to\u00a0new heights<\/a>,<\/span> achieving a record altitude of 10,000 feet in September. The air taxi also completed a 55-mile flight\u2014shy of its intended top range of 100 miles but squarely within the 20-50-mile bracket that Archer considers optimal for Midnight trips in cities, such as New York and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Midnight also made its first international flights in the UAE, conducting testing near Abu Dhabi\u2019s Al Ain Airport (OMAL). Like Joby\u2019s S4, it too flew during the California International Airshow.<\/p>\n

Wisk Finally Lifts Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisk\u2014which unlike its competitors will field an autonomous aircraft at launch\u2014is operating on a slightly different timeline. But the company for the first time in December flew what it described as a \u201ctest article\u201d of the Generation 6 it plans to certify.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0untethered hover flight<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>included some limited forward movement and lasted about one minute, following a predetermined flight plan.<\/p>\n

Wisk said the milestone followed rigorous testing with a software-equipped iron bird rig, which it uses to gauge performance in a range of simulated conditions. The company also conducted restrained ground testing, ensuring all systems and components functioned under pressure at 100 percent torque.<\/p>\n

Why 2026 Could Be Even Bigger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Electric air taxi manufacturers completed plenty of internal testing in 2025. Starting this year, they have the opportunity to see how that testing translates to real-world performance.<\/p>\n

Ready for Liftoff<\/strong><\/p>\n

The eIPP is expected to begin within 90 days of participant selection, which is anticipated in March. The trials will adhere to FAA regulations. But the agency will allow participants to conduct operations not normally permitted with pre-certified aircraft.<\/p>\n

Certain cargo operations, for example, will be able to generate revenue \u201cunder specific circumstances\u201d and on a \u201ccase-by-case basis,\u201d per the FAA. Participants will be allowed to use temporary infrastructure, though they will need to foot the bill themselves.<\/p>\n

Specific requirements, such as data reporting and the number of flight hours and demonstrations, will be set during the contract award process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done the demonstrations, and now we\u2019re ready to take it to the next phase with those sustained operations,\u201d said Kristen Costello, head of government and regulatory affairs for Beta.<\/p>\n

Costello said many of Alia\u2019s flight hours are international, and Beta\u2019s market survey program does not allow it to study the economics of the company\u2019s operation. That could change with the eIPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe eIPP allows us to do this domestically at a larger scale, get more data, and\u2014for cargo logistics and medical applications\u2014do it for revenue,\u201d Costello said.<\/p>\n

Clark said that Beta has a \u201cvery large number\u201d of eIPP proposals. The company plans to begin with cargo operations in the Alia CTOL before advancing to passenger flights with the VTOL.<\/p>\n

Archer in December said it submitted eIPP applications with cities in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and New York. It was the sole manufacturer to apply with the city of Huntington Beach, California\u2014just a few miles from Hawthorne Municipal Airport (KHHR), which it is in the process of acquiring from the city of Hawthorne.<\/p>\n

Joby in September said it was working on applications with partners in Texas, Florida, Ohio, New York, and California for both passenger and cargo eIPP projects.<\/p>\n

Wisk told\u00a0FLYING<\/em>\u00a0that the Gen 6 that flew in December will perform autonomous operations under the program.<\/p>\n

The Big Test<\/strong><\/p>\n

During eIPP testing, several air taxi developers expect to advance to TIA.<\/p>\n

Costello described the process as a \u201cnegotiation\u201d with the FAA, which will give the green light to move forward after accepting all compliance planning documents. She said that some\u2014but not all\u2014of Beta\u2019s flight test plans have been validated. She added that FAA pilots make quarterly visits to its facilities, conducting human factors assessments within Alia\u2019s cockpit.<\/p>\n

Clark said Beta is testing aircraft that are \u201cidentical\u201d to those that will enter TIA, using the requirements the FAA has defined as a guide. The company is also racking up flight hours on its H500A engine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we\u2019re developing this engine, we happen to have this aircraft that we can put it on to go fly it around and pull in all of that data,\u201d said Costello.<\/p>\n

Clark said Beta will use the pre-TIA period to iron out the kinks with Alia. For example, it replaced a faulty seal and modified the way ice sticks to the aircraft\u2019s hinges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have to make those changes after TIA, it takes a lot more paperwork and a lot more time,\u201d he said. \u201cSo this is a big accelerant to an expeditious certification program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Archer said in August that it is building six conforming aircraft, with three in final assembly. Some are intended for TIA.<\/p>\n

Joby too is preparing for the big test. It started production of conforming propeller blades in October and powered on its first conforming aircraft in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to plan for this aircraft to take to the skies later this year, flown by Joby pilots, clearing the way for FAA pilots to start for-credit testing next year,\u201d Joby CEO JoeBen Bevirt said in November.<\/p>\n

What Else Is New?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The coming year could see eVTOL manufacturers test even more autonomy and hybrid-electric propulsion.<\/p>\n

Wisk plans to continue hover and low-speed stability testing with the Gen 6 before expanding the envelope. It will gradually increase speed and altitude, sprinkling in maneuvers like pedal turns at low speed.<\/p>\n

Wisk believes it can achieve a transition flight in the next six months. The company is building a second Gen 6 that it expects to fly later this year.<\/p>\n

Collaborations between Joby and L3Harris, Archer and Anduril, and Beta and GE Aerospace also seek to explore these technologies. Joby and Archer, for example, plan to deploy Nvidia\u2019s IGX Thor intelligence platform.<\/p>\n

2026 could even see some new entrants. Honda, for example, recently applied for an FAA exemption in hopes of flying its first eVTOL demonstrator in March.<\/p>\n

One thing is for certain: the U.S. government is behind these manufacturers.<\/p>\n

A White House executive order, tellingly titled \u201cUnleashing American Drone Dominance,\u201d created the eIPP in June. A few months later, the Transportation Department released the Advanced Air Mobility National Strategy\u2014a whole-of-government blueprint to accelerate eVTOL testing and adoption.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur next goal is a million [miles],\u201d said Clark. \u201cWe\u2019re going to build more airplanes, we\u2019re going to fly more often, and we\u2019re going to get all that data.\u201d<\/p>\n
