The US faces significant supply chain, certification, and production challenges to replace radio altimeters compatible with C-band by the 2030 deadline, risking capacity bottlenecks and competition with government aircraft for components.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a supply bottleneck as altimeter manufacturers scramble to meet FAA certification and production deadlines amid limited global standards. Move fast to secure component sources or partnerships before 2027 when standards finalise or risk missing the hard 2030 compliance deadline.
