The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio expresses strong support for the state's proposal to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Integration Pilot Program. It highlights the U.S. government's commitment to advancing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and integrating them into the National Airspace System, as outlined in Executive Order 14307. Ohio aims to leverage this opportunity by collaborating with various stakeholders, including industry leaders and academic institutions, to demonstrate successful operational concepts that can be scaled for broader applications.

The resolution emphasizes Ohio's historical significance in aviation innovation and its current leadership role in AAM development. It notes the state's investment in a robust ecosystem that includes universities, research institutions, and government agencies, all working together to support eVTOL and AAM initiatives. By participating in the Integration Pilot Program, Ohio anticipates economic growth, enhanced research opportunities, and educational benefits for its residents. The resolution calls for the transmission of authenticated copies to key federal officials and the media, reinforcing Ohio's commitment to advancing aerial mobility solutions.
