FBDT hits FAA Part 107 speed milestone as it seeks beyond-107 testing

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Regulatory clearance to test beyond Part 107 can unlock accelerated development, shorten time-to-market, and intensify investor interest in front-end defense tech names like FBDT; past regulatory milestones have spurred short- to medium-term upside in similar players, though execution risk remains high.
