Defending An AAM Product Liability Lawsuit

We get it. You don't want to think about it right now. You spent countless hours designing your aircraft and raising capital. Your company is getting closer to, or is already, conducting certification testing. FAA certification of your aircraft, manufacturing, and mass distribution are your ultimate goals. Understandably so. The next frontier of aviation is right there in front of us, with the FAA's Innovate 28 Plan laying the groundwork for AAM operations in 2028. The FAA seems ready and willing, at a deliberate speed, to create a proper regulatory framework and work with AAM OEMs to get various AAM aircraft certified.

Inevitably, though, there will be an accident of some kind in the years ahead that causes injuries or death to a person or damage to property. It may not be your company. But it could. We understand that this is hard to hear and difficult to imagine at this stage. Your company must prepare for the risk of an accident resulting in a lawsuit.
