Özet
The shift to electric aviationElectric aviation is a big change in both technology and how rules are made. This paper examines the cyclical interplay between technological innovations and regulatory responses, highlighting the necessity of aligned frameworks for secure and scalable implementation. The study illustrates the evolving steps of electric aviationElectric aviationregulationsRegulations, referencing historical precedents by EASAEuropean Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)’s SC E-19 and the FAAFederal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s powered-lift rules. A case study of Safran’s Engineus 100 certificationCertification shows how special conditions can open the door to new propulsion technologies. The paper also discusses the significance of electric aviationElectric aviation businesses agreeing on standards. Especially when it comes to airport infrastructure readinessAirport infrastructure readiness, investment requires certainty and customer trust. It is necessary for the electric aviationElectric aviation industry to be synchronized across the innovation and regulationRegulations dimensions. Industry should use supporting tools like KPI metrics for aligning the requirements and battery technologies to achieve this target. The results of the investigation of the literature show long-term success is highly correlated with the prompt coordination of technological progress, rules, and co-operation.
