UAV (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles) and AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) projects aim high – and therefore need trust and reliability regarding all components. Getting a project ready to take off as commercial air taxi or transport drone additionally requires matching complex rules and regulations. That means: Only certification of aviation safety authorities like FAA and EASA guarantees visionary aircraft programs the indispensable official operating license.
In the Volz Servos whitepaper, aviation professionals reveal
It is one thing to develop and fly a drone for delivery. But for a small passenger carrying aircraft or for operation in urban areas you must make it so safe that it's certifiable.
Aerospace engineer Mike Hirschberg has been a recognised expert in the aviation industry, and vertical flight in particular, for decades. After 12 years as Executive Director of the VFS, he took over the position of Director of Strategy in June 2023. In the Volz Servos whitepaper, Mike Hirschberg, together with other experts, offers valuable insights into the business and science of aviation, so that the document serves as a compass for your specific supplier requirements.
