Honeywell this week published a reference guide on the certification process for vehicles being developed in the advanced air mobility (AAM) sector. The aerospace group says that the Honeywell State of UAS and UAM Guide will track the status of the regulatory process for new aircraft—including those with electric propulsion and in some cases ones intended for fully autonomous uncrewed operations—being conducted by agencies including the FAA and EASA.
“We understand the challenges that professionals working in the AAM industry face as they look to navigate, track, and ultimately comply with myriad developing regulations,” said Jia Xu, Honeywell’s chief technology officer for UAS and UAM (uncrewed air systems and urban air mobility). “Because Honeywell provides certifiable, mission-critical systems that make AAM vehicles fly, it’s essential that we understand the certification landscape across all AAM segments. We initially developed this certification summary table as a quick reference for our own team; however, we quickly realized that the information here can benefit the wider industry. We intend to update this document regularly to help AAM companies keep pace with regulatory development.”
