UK's Future Flight Challenge Publish Advanced Air Mobility Safety Study and Action Plan
The UK government-funded Future Flight Challenge commissioned Egris and the University of Sheffield to provide a detailed analysis of safety factors that need to be addressed for eVTOL aircraft manufacturers and operators.
The UK government-backed Future Flight Challenge (FFC) initiative to advance sustainable aviation technology and operations this week launched its Aviation Safety Framework. The study commissioned by the FFC and published on July 12 lays out detailed guidelines for a future aviation system, including both autonomous and piloted aircraft and their supporting technologies.
Research for the report was conducted by urban development engineering group Egris and the University of York. Its core purpose is to analyze the main safety management challenges associated with new aircraft applications through case studies for both urban and regional air mobility, as well as drone deliveries.
