    Not critiquing your title, since that’s the article title but it looks like it’s just approved for testing:

      The whole article’s a noncohesive mess. This piece at Flying Magazine seems to provide a better overview.

        Looks like it got approval just for test purposes. Not holding my breath for production approval in the next 20 years. Imagine license tests for stuff like that
