eVTOL Vehicle-Agnostic Instrument Flight Procedures Test Plan
Mar 5, 2024 · NASA Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign is researching the utility of electric vertical takeoff and land (eVTOL) advanced air mobility (AAM) instrument flight procedures.
Crashworthiness via drop testing is currently regulated for fuel cells and fuel tanks. Due to the prevalence of fuel tanks and the novelty of battery systems in aircraft, EASA has adopted these fuel tank drop test requirements for use with battery systems as a starting point.
The vast majority of the eVTOL aircraft currently in design or prototype stages utilize electric or hybrid electric propulsion systems. These consist of Energy Storage Systems (ESS), which are typically large Lithium-Ion battery modules and associated Battery Management Systems (BMS) connected to a variety of electric motors and propellers.
NIAR conducts 50-ft eVTOL battery drop test per 14 CFR § 27.952
Dec 22, 2022 · Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) conducted its first successful full-scale 50-foot Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) battery drop test at the Jerry Moran Center for Advanced Virtual Engineering and Testing (AVET).
FAA Greenlights Honda eVTOL Prototype Flight Testing | AIN
Nov 12, 2024 · While Honda has kept its eVTOL program under tight wraps, FAA records indicate that the U.S. air safety regulator recently granted an exemption to Honda Research Institute (HRI) that would allow...
NASA Begins Air Taxi Flight Testing with Joby - NASA
Sep 1, 2021 · NASA began flight testing Monday with Joby Aviation’s all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft as part of the agency’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) National Campaign. This testing runs through Friday, Sept.10, at Joby’s Electric Flight Base located near Big Sur, California.
