GE Aviation’s Digital Group is working to develop a flight data monitoring (FDM) program to support Uber Elevate’s planned eVTOL aircraft rideshare service. The technology will form part of the safety management system (SMS) that Uber intends to voluntarily implement, and this will be based on the FAA’s Flight Operations Quality Assurance model (FOQA).
The two companies have been collaborating on the project for several months to develop the technical requirements to apply FDM and analysis to any of the eVTOL aircraft that will be used for the Uber Air operations, which are due to start from 2023 in cities including Dallas and Los Angeles. So far, Uber has selected eight manufacturers as partners to develop eVTOL aircraft for its program. These include Bell, Embraer, Hyundai, Jaunt Air Mobility, Joby Aviation, Overair, Pipistrel, and Aurora Flight Sciences (a Boeing subsidiary).
