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 (NAS) 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 its capability in developing and implementing innovative eVTOL and AAM solutions.

The resolution emphasizes Ohio's historical significance in aviation innovation and its strategic investments in research and development, particularly through its R1 universities and the SkyVision airspace management system. By supporting the FAA's Integration Pilot Program, Ohio seeks to enhance economic growth, create new research opportunities, and provide educational benefits for its residents. The resolution calls for the transmission of authenticated copies to key federal officials and the media, underscoring Ohio's commitment to leading advancements in eVTOL and AAM technologies.
