EmbraerX recently made the first flight in a simulator it is using to develop its planned new eVTOL aircraft. The advanced technologies division of the Brazilian business and regional aircraft manufacturer has also flown scale models of the new design and has conducted wind tunnel testing, but has yet to say when it expects the all-electric, four-seater to enter service.
According to Andre Stein, EmbraerX’s head of strategy and urban air mobility, the simulator trials use real flight control parameters and control laws to gather the information that will prepare the way for eventual type certification flight testing. Engineers have been testing the aircraft’s fifth-generation fly-by-wire controls, which will initially support piloted operations while being compatible with later plans to progress to autonomous flight.
