FAA approves Honda’s all-electric air taxi, but grants exemptions tied to ~15-minute battery endurance The FAA has approved Honda to conduct flights with its all-electric air taxi even though the aircraft’s battery-storage design limits it to about 15 minutes of endurance. The approval required FAA exemptions ahead of test flights, reflecting how energy-storage constraints shape early operating envelopes.
