This summer, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aircraft Certification Service’s Policy and Standards Division (AIR-600) released two documents for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Because the FAA changed course in May 2022 — turning away from its anticipated plan to certificate winged eVTOL aircraft as Part 23 airplanes with special conditions for vertical flight (see “FAA Changes Course on eVTOL Certification,” Vertiflite, July/Aug 2022) — the agency is working on creating the necessary regulations to certificate both winged and wingless eVTOL aircraft.

As technology has enabled affordable digitization, the capability and application of aviation modeling and simulation has exploded. It has evolved from its origins in complex aerospace products to everyday consumer goods. The concepts of “digital twin” and “digital thread” have also been developing and are being deployed across product development and manufacturing to leverage this digital data, improving the products and the processes for increased efficiencies and reduced costs.
