Pipistrel is hoping to export its electrically-powered Velis Electro light aircraft to the U.S. in larger numbers after the FAA implements new regulations that would allow it to be operated more easily there, the company announced yesterday at the Aero Friedrichshafen show in Germany. This move comes almost two years after it became the first manufacturer to certify an electric aircraft with EASA when the European regulator approved the Velis.
The FAA's new MOSAIC (modernization of special aIrworthiness certification) regulations would make it easier for light aircraft like the Velis Electro to fly in the U.S. without having to go through the burdensome Part 23 certification process. The Velis Electro does fly now in the U.S., but only under an experimental airworthiness certificate.
