Oct 22 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration

on Tuesday plans to unveil final comprehensive training and

pilot certification rules for flying air taxis, addressing a key

hurdle to the deployment of electric vertical takeoff and

landing aircraft.

The White House cleared the FAA's final rules on Friday that

were first proposed in June 2023. FAA Administrator Mike

Whitaker is expected to outline details on the final rule at a

conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Low-altitude urban aircraft known as eVTOLs have drawn

intense global interest, with numerous companies going public

like Joby Aviation ( JOBY ) and Archer Aviation ( ACHR ).
