White House Executive Order Signals Major Tailwinds for eVTOL/hVTOL Investment
On June 6, 2025, the White House issued a sweeping Executive Order to accelerate deployment of electric and hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL/hVTOL) aircraft. The new Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) sets the stage for national scale.
Alpine Vertical is raising $20M to fund its hVTOL aircraft platform through profitability by 2028.* They are well positioned to benefit from this mandate.
• Mandates at least 5 real-world pilot projects—cargo, medevac, rural access, and urban air mobility

• Streamlines FAA approval timelines for BVLOS and advanced air operations

• Prioritizes domestic manufacturing, with federal procurement support

• Aligns with DoT and FAA to safely integrate eVTOLs into the National Airspace System

• Establishes clear deadlines—project selection by Dec 2025, operations by early 2026
This creates a unique window to back U.S. platforms with flight-ready tech, IP defensibility, and a pathway to certification.

119 years ago this week, after 4 years of experimentation, the Wright brothers embarked on the world's first successful airplane flight.

Like the Wright brothers in 1903, we in the community are on the ground floor of a nascent industry with massive growth potential. Their dedication and ingenuity will surely inspire aviation innovation for decades to come.

To celebrate that anniversary, we're sharing one of our favorite moments from 2021 when aviation past and future converged at the Aerospace Futures Alliance's conference in The Museum of Flight.

Puget Sound area friends: Join us this weekend for a celebration of South Sound manufacturing innovation with RIFT Carbon Campers!

RIFT creates the lightweight carbon composite that makes up ZEVA aircraft. At the event, we'll unveil a new carbon curing oven that will further enable continuous and efficient manufacturing of lightweight and aerodynamic composite structures.

Join us to learn more about ZEVA and RIFT, and to see these pioneering solutions up close.

Details:
🗓️11/18, 3pm-7pm: Cocktail hour & ribbon cutting with Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber (3:30)
🗓️ 11/19, 12pm-4pm: Open house
📍Rift’s HQ: at 9425 Lakeview Ave SW, Lakewood, WA

Imagine the impact autonomous vehicles will have on .

For , getting a medic on-scene faster can mean the difference between life and death. ZEVA’s aircraft will transition from hover mode to forward flight mode and cruise comfortably at 160mph to reach those in need.
