Insights
FAA's new BVLOS framework represents significant regulatory progress for XTI Aerospace's autonomous aircraft business, potentially accelerating commercial applications and market expansion.
The FAA's proposed Part 108 regulations represent a pivotal regulatory milestone for the uncrewed aircraft industry. By establishing a framework for Beyond Visual Line of Sight operations, the FAA is addressing one of the most significant barriers to commercial drone scalability. The provision allowing drones up to 1,320 pounds to operate without traditional airworthiness certificates is particularly noteworthy, as it substantially expands the operational envelope for commercial UAS applications.
The introduction of Automated Data Service Providers (ADSPs) as third-party traffic managers signals a sophisticated approach to airspace integration. This infrastructure element is critical for enabling the high-density, low-altitude operations that would characterize a mature drone economy and eventually support more complex air mobility solutions like those in XTI's portfolio.
The timing of this NPRM aligns with the Administration's recent Executive Order on drone dominance, indicating coordinated federal prioritization of this technology sector. While XTI's press release appropriately positions this as positive progress, it's important to recognize that final implementation will still require navigating the public comment period and finalizing operational requirements.
For XTI specifically, this regulatory movement validates their strategic direction in developing autonomous flight technologies. The removal of regulatory uncertainty often accelerates both technology development cycles and investment flows, potentially benefiting companies already positioned in this space.
The FAA's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for "Normalizing UAS BVLOS Operations," also known as Part 108, is responsive to the Administration's June 6, 2025, Executive Order to Unleash American Drone Dominance while Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty, which called for expedited action and a clear regulatory roadmap for the future of commercial drone operations. The risk-based, performance-driven guidelines usher in a new era of commercial applications including infrastructure inspection, precision agriculture, emergency response, and last-mile delivery.
"We commend the FAA for prioritizing American leadership in aviation innovation," said Scott Pomeroy, Chairman and CEO of XTI Aerospace. "The release of Part 108 is not just regulatory progress鈥攊t's a turning point that will accelerate the Vertical Economy. A clear path to BVLOS unlocks the transformative potential of advanced UAS and brings us one step closer to a fully integrated air mobility ecosystem."
Under the proposed rules, drones up to 1,320 pounds can operate BVLOS without traditional airworthiness certificates, paving the way for a broader range of industrial and commercial missions. The FAA's plan also introduces third-party Automated Data Service Providers (ADSPs) to safely manage traffic and situational awareness among crewed and uncrewed aircraft鈥攁 critical enabler for future autonomous flight corridors.
XTI applauds the FAA's commitment to building on years of data from waivers, pilot programs, and industry partnerships to establish a scalable regulatory model. XTI is encouraged by the Transportation Security Administration's parallel efforts to address security considerations through targeted personnel vetting and operator program requirements.
"From the XTI Trifan platform to our ecosystem of innovation partners, we are committed to safe, efficient, and secure air mobility," added Mr. Pomeroy. "The FAA's work鈥攕upported by the Administration's directive鈥攕ends a strong signal to innovators and investors alike:
XTI Aerospace looks forward to participating in the public comment process and collaborating with government and industry stakeholders to ensure the final rule balances safety, scalability and innovation. As an advocate for the Vertical Economy, XTI remains committed to advancing technologies and partnerships that benefit national infrastructure, economic growth and public good.
