Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and Advanced Air Mobility Aircraft Integration Pilot Program (eIPP)

The solicitation requires a proposal that defines a clear AAM mission objective, identifies all partners, and is led by one or more state, local, or tribal (SLTT) governments. The offer must include an Executive Summary; a description of eVTOL or other advanced air‑mobility aircraft and technologies developed or offered by a United States‑based entity, accompanied by letters of attestation from private‑sector partners with proven eVTOL/AAM experience; an economic and geographic analysis with a public‑private partnership model; and a detailed operations plan covering advanced air mobility, medical response, cargo transport, and rural access. Proposals must demonstrate a multi‑state or regional deployment model with diverse urban, rural, coastal, and tribal sites, define partner roles (industry, academia, local governments), provide economic forecasts and co‑investment structures, and include aircraft that are either Type Certified or near certification with test plans, ground infrastructure, and timelines that enable launch within 90 days of agreement. The offer must be binding for at least 180 calendar days, be submitted as separate PDF files (≤ 2 GB each), and address regulatory gaps (airworthiness, ground risk, pilot certification) with data‑collection plans to inform FAA policy. Evaluation will follow the criteria in Section 9.2.1, rewarding proposals that integrate multiple industry collaborators, cover several use cases, and show strong readiness and stakeholder support; the FAA will consider all qualifying AAM aircraft equally, regardless of size or whether missions are actual or simulated, with final demonstration details to be negotiated in the OTA.
