MissionGO Unmanned Systems announced today that the FAA\ncertification office has approved MissionGO\u2019s MG Velos 100 airworthiness\ncriteria as part of MissionGO\u2019s Type Certificate application, a milestone\nmarking the brand\u2019s next big step in pushing the boundaries of Unmanned\nAircraft System capabilities. It is also expected that the FAA will soon be\nissuing industry guidelines for certification testing. This crucial progress\ntowards Type Certification of the MG Velos 100, manufactured by MissionGO;\ncoupled with the meticulous testing, documentation, and real-world proof that\nwill follow, will advance MissionGO to a new level of operations leveraging its\nsignature safety, reliability, and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, the FAA\u2019s Type Certification approval will\nqualify us to deliver on possibilities we\u2019ve been preparing for and imagining\nfor years,\u201d said MissionGO Executive Vice President for UAS Cargo Operations\nFrank Paskiewicz. \u201cOur goal is to be certified to fly precious medical cargo\nfrom Point A to Point B with even more speed and efficiency than before, saving\ntime that could literally save lives. Type Certification will be a major\nmilestone in proving we can conduct this important mission in a safe and\nreliable manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type Certification coupled with MissionGO\u2019s expected\nProduction and Part 135 Certificates will enable MissionGO to fly more\nconventional routes through airspace, over people, and eventually beyond visual\nline of sight. Flights containing critically important cargo, like human organs\nen route to transplant patients, will be faster and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining MissionGO in achieving this monumental milestone are\nstrategic partners Velos Rotors, the company\u2019s prime supplier, and AlarisPro.\nThe MissionGO UAS design includes Velos Rotors\u2019 fully redundant and patented\nUAS components, which are critical in achieving the team\u2019s required level of\nsafety and reliability while simultaneously providing improved performance for\nthe MG Velos 100. AlarisPro\u2019s core capabilities of managing fleets and tracking\noperations and maintenance down to the component level enable the team to know\nwith confidence the detailed status of the aircraft and how an aircraft will\nperform, increasing safety, reliability, and efficiency on every flight. This\ntrifecta of UAS experts forms a groundbreaking advantage in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo meet the FAA\u2019s airworthiness criteria as part of the\nType Certification process is an incredible undertaking,\u201d said Thomas Meyer,\nAlarisPro\u2019s Director of Commercialization. \u201cAs a fully integrated solution that\nkeeps track of all aspects of the flight operations during FAA-required\nDurability and Reliability (D&R) testing, AlarisPro is the essential tool\nto efficiently and accurately collect and analyze all data relevant to D&R\ntesting for Type Certification. The ability to correlate and consolidate pilot\ninformation, flight logs, and aircraft status down to the component level\nwithin one software solution leaves no margin of error and yields almost\nreal-time data generation.\u201d Once the MG Velos 100 is certified and operational,\nthe AlarisPro data will also feed the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness\nfor the aircraft fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVelos is proud to supply components to the MG Velos 100\nType Certification program,\u201d said Aris Kolokythas, Founder and Director of\nR&D at Velos Rotors. \u201cThis important partnership with MissionGO and\nAlarisPro will prove that routine UAS cargo transport can be done safely and\nreliably by the properly designed unmanned helicopter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
