In this section, the term powered-lift aircraft means a heavier-than-air aircraft capable of vertical take-off, vertical landing, and low speed flight that depends principally on engine-driven lift devices or engine thrust for lift during these flight regimes and on 1 or more nonrotating airfoils for lift during horizontal flight. Such term includes, but is not limited to, electric aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL). Not later than December 31, 2024, the Administrator shall finalize a Powered-Lift Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR)establishing a procedure for certifying pilots and the operation of powered-lift aircraft capable of transporting passengers and cargo.
