The Agency engaged with its international partners in order to work together towards achieving common standards. The current regulatory framework has initially been designed for conventional fi xed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, balloons and sailplanes. Propulsion was mostly provided by piston or turbine engines using fossil fuels. The introduction of new technologies and concepts of air transport requires revisiting this framework. The Agency is currently consulting with its advisory bodies on a new rulemaking task (RMT.0731) to develop rules or amend existing ones and to address new technologies and operational air-transport concepts, with the objective to be agile and to adapt the regulatory framework in line with performance-based regulations principles. The experience gained through the application of the VTOL special condition will feed into the rulemaking process.
