Volocopter Posts “75 Percent Completion of Audits For Type Certification”
German-based electric air taxi, Volocopter, announced last week on LinkedIn, it has successfully completed 75 percent of the audits required to obtain Type Certification (TC) from European air regulator, EASA.
Most recently, the company has passed a portion of its Electric Propulsion System (EPS) audit, with the actual EASA team on site. The company writes, “A critical system, such as the EPS, is subject to development assurance audits, showing that software, hardware and systems are developed in compliance with airworthiness requirements and is crucial for aircraft certification.”
The post continues, “Completing three-quarters of the required audits is a significant win for Volocopter as it brings us closer to becoming the first eVTOL designer and developer with an EASA-certified aircraft, paving the way for global expansion.”
Other recent company news is that it’s making forward strides on the ground too. Parallel to flight testing, Volocopter’s production team is progressing with the final assembly of its fourth and fifth Volocity aircraft.
Each flight flown is data analysed and fed back for potential tweaks on aircraft modifications and improvement, strengthening VoloCity’s probity towards its Type Certification. The company states on LinkedIn, “This progress inspires better production flow, maintenance access and training, as well as product iteration.”
