Jeg skriver det fordi disse innretningene, som det nå finnes et vell av, skal ha samme sikkerhetstandard som kommersielle fly. Det betyr et havari i forholdet "One times ten to the minus nine". Altså 1: 1 000 000 000. I praksis ingen ulykker med tap av liv i det hele tatt. Det er vanskelig å skjønne når det gjelder uprøvede produkter. Ikke nok med det, men evt. operatør må være sertifisert, og luftrommets beskaffenhet må være i orden, altså hvordan skal luftrommet disse skal fly i se ut, og hvem har ansvaret for sikker trafikkavvikling? VIKTIG: Merk deg at S-92A i sin helhet og B787`s batteripakke ble sertifisert etter 1x10 to the minus seven og hadde henholdsvis fatal ulykke- og ulykke like etter at de var nye. Det er noe råttent med sertifiserinsordningen. (Red.)
Volocopter awarded key designation by European aviation safety
regulator
Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft
maker Volocotper has received a Design Organization Approval (DOA) from the
European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This is basically a recognition by
the EU that the processes Volocopter has in place in developing and building its
aircraft are of a high enough standard that it can expedite the process of
deploying its eVTOLs for commercial use.
That's a big advantage for
Volocopter as it moves forward with its commercialization plans. The German
company announced plans this year to produce a cargo version of its vehicle
designed for hauling goods, and also revealed it'll be doing a pilot of that
vehicle in partnership with John Deere focused on testing its use in
agriculture. Meanwhile, it's also moving ahead with its plans for an "air taxi"
version that's meant to transport people in urban
environments.
Volocopter has flown its personal transport with passengers
on board in Singapore and Stuttgart so far, in tests designed to help
demonstrate its feasibility ahead of a true commercial launch. The company
announced a €50 million (around $55 million USD) funding round earlier this
year, and it hopes to launch its service for the public in around two to three
years' time.
