We are fostering strong relationships within the military-industrial complex, the British government, and the EU. By 2030, we aim to secure all necessary licenses and regulatory approvals to conduct tests, establish manufacturing plants, and safely deliver our products to customers.
Helicopter incidents are, unfortunately, still way too common especially when compared to the fixed wing world. While the accident rate for general aircraft is 7.28 crashes per 100,000 hours of flight time, for helicopters, that number is 9.84 per 100,000 hours.
Developing safe autonomous flying vehicles involves addressing several critical aspects to ensure reliability and public trust:
1. Advanced Control Systems:Implementing sophisticated autopilot technologies is essential. For instance, the Veronte Autopilot system offers advanced control capabilities and has been approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for use in unmanned aerial systems and eVTOL aircraft.
2. Robust Safety Protocols:Establishing comprehensive safety protocols is crucial. NASA has developed autonomous flight software that has been successfully tested in air taxi prototypes, demonstrating the importance of rigorous safety measures in autonomous flight operations.
3. Regulatory Compliance:Adhering to aviation regulations and obtaining necessary certifications are vital steps. The EHang EH216-S autonomous flying taxi, for example, received approval for mass production in China, with commercial flights expected to begin in 2025, highlighting the importance of regulatory compliance in bringing autonomous flying vehicles to market.
4. Public Acceptance:Gaining public trust is essential for widespread adoption. Companies like Wisk Aero are working on self-flying air taxis, aiming to launch services by 2030, and are focusing on demonstrating safety and reliability to build public confidence.
