- hef19898 8y agoEASA at least is already working on it: https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/product-certification-consultations/proposed-special-condition-vtol https://www.easa.europa.eu/document-library/product-certific... The gist: max. 5 PAX, max 2,000 kg VTOl craft requires an own set of certification criteria as neither aircraft nor rotorcraft requirements are feasible. No idea about the current small rotorcraft certification requirements so.
- dmitrygr 8y ago"working on it" in aviation terms is a decade or two. Look up how long basicmed took. And that was an easy change.
- hef19898 8y agoSure, in a world where replacing a DIN norm by the successor EN one on the drawings can take 6 months, sure. But things are moving, which is good thing. And at least regulations are worked on in advance. That Airbus is also working on a similar project might help to speed things up with EASA as well. Just what that means for Lilium remains to be seen.
