Elwell Paints Vision for 'Third Great Era' of Aviation
Five-year FAA bill paves way for future, but falls short on funding reform, Elwell says.

Aviation is on the cusp of its “third great era” with the emergence of autonomous and unmanned aircraft, according to acting FAA Administrator Dan Elwell. This new frontier is coming at a more complex time, with thousands of aircraft crisscrossing the globe and joined by commercial rockets and a million drones, Elwell said in prepared text for his speech before the Aero Club of Washington on Monday. “I’m not sure we appreciate how much of a seismic change it’s going to be—for all of us.”
