Developers of new eVTOL aircraft like Joby, Lilium, Volocopter, Archer, and EHang are promising financial backers a rapid return on their investments, with commercial operations due to start from around 2024. But they may be underestimating the task of securing type certification and other approvals needed to get these electric aircraft into mass production and operation. After two fatal accidents with the Boeing 737 Max revealed shortcomings in the regulatory process, agencies like the FAA and EASA promise a more rigorous approach to certification. Industry expert Sergio Cecutta of SMG Consulting explains what’s at stake and how he expects this to play out.

eVTOL Copters is the next move for Air Taxis moving across from point to point areas which will help those going by cars,trains & buses in Big Cities and Countries Like South America so I hope to fly on them soon in the near future and learn how much they costs too which is important to learn about awesome Video!!!!

knowing the topic, I hope they will take some highly skilled avionics engineers to help to bring the process to avionics standard. They will even need to take some automotive experts since ASIL and DAL are almost the same.

Interesting discussion. These aircraft/companies may get certified, but which set of capabilities make business sense? It would be great to see an analysis of the various business models these companies and their customers are planning. Are they better than existing solutions?

Why should they? They are likely only going to be used in day/night VFR-only in the fledgling stage.

Most of them are not there yet. They are certifying under part 23 so a lot of wiggle room for what is required and what not. Probably it will begin with day VFR operation

@@savagecub all of the defenses (boots, heated props, heated windscreens) as well as extra passenger comfort require extra power, therefore more weight or less range. The business models don't lend themselves to flying in icing conditions.

Joby seems to be leading the certification process and then everyone else is projecting they can be ready as well in the same year

Isn't the self programming algorithm leaving breadcrumbs as to what its doing? If not then it should be programmed to for a test version.

Not in meaningful ways. The code itself are not meaningful functions and if/else statements with nice function and variable names. Eg. in neural networks you can explain what you are doing to train it, eg. show the training sets when training the networks through backpropegatation, but if you were to read the code it is meaningless set of numbers in a meaningless set of neurons.

@@faluffel That’s very interesting! In humans we can monitor brain function and to some degree know ourselves well enough to be able to bear witness to what happened in an incident. Is there anything analogous to that?

Believe me, good AI is much safer than millions of code written by code monkeys, neural network are much more resistant to "unexpected conditions". And you need treat neural weights as DATA, not as CODE. It is efficient an robust representation of expected behaviour.
