The company will begin commercial operations in the coming months as it continues to ramp up its production capacity.
This FAA approval positions Guardian Agriculture as the first commercially authorized eVTOL in the U.S., allowing it to operate its systems safely and marking a significant milestone for the eVTOL space.
The approval also positions Guardian Agriculture as the first to address the fast-growing agricultural use case, with commercial farmers rapidly moving away from ground spraying equipment in favor of unmanned. However, most available systems are too small to provide growers with full-field coverage at a competitive price point.
"eVTOL powered crop protection is better for crops, better for the environment, and better for growers' bottom line," Guardian Agriculture Founder and CEO Adam Bercu said. "We designed our system to meet the needs of commercial agriculture. Solving this real-world pain point is the right first step for eVTOL adoption at large. FAA approval represents an important turning point for American leadership in this fast-growing market.
