National Transportation Safety Board Reaffirms Its Commitment to Vetting New Air Travel Tech

National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)

The NTSB’s top strategic priority is to be prepared to investigate accidents involving emerging transportation technologies and systems. Innovations in transportation, such as uncrewed aircraft systems, advanced air mobility, supersonic aircraft, and clean energy propulsion will continually challenge the NTSB to grow and expand investigation processes and tools. The agency has established a multimodal emerging technologies team to ensure NTSB investigator professional development and develop best practices for investigating such technologies. The team continues to collaborate with government and industry stakeholders to advocate for emerging transportation technologies to record the necessary data to fully understand the circumstances after any future mishap the agency would investigate.
