Archer Aviation Inc. has been actively engaged with the FAA\nthrough its Center for Emerging Concepts & Innovation and the Los Angeles\nAircraft Certification Office to develop the airworthiness and environmental\nrequirements necessary for full certification of its eVTOL aircraft. Archer announced that the FAA G-1 Issue\nPaper: Certification Basis (“G-1 Certification Basis”) has been\napproved and signed, enabling Archer to move further down the runway towards\nits goal of obtaining an FAA Type Certification for its eVTOL aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The G-1 Certification Basis is based on the FAA’s\ncertification standards contained in 14 C.F.R. Part 23. With Part 23 as the\nfoundation, the G-1 Certification Basis sets forth the specific Airworthiness\nStandards and Environmental Standards required for FAA Type Certification. With\nthese requirements now established, Archer can focus on finalizing its G-2\nIssue Paper with the FAA, which will set forth the means of compliance to meet\nthe requirements set forth in the G-1 Issue Paper. Archer has been working on\nthe means of compliance for the G-2 Issue Paper with the FAA since earlier this\nyear, as well as the necessary testing and methods required to demonstrate\nsafety and compliance of our aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its inception, Archer has focused on ensuring that its\ndesign, engineering and business decisions align with what it believes is\nnecessary to design and develop an aircraft that meets the FAA’s rigorous\nsafety standards and achieve FAA Type Certification as soon as possible.\nToday\u2019s achievement results from a collaborative relationship Archer has\nestablished with the FAA, led by Archer\u2019s Head of Certification, Eric Wright,\nan accomplished aviation professional with a decades-long history of designing\nand obtaining FAA Type Certificates for aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re certainly proud to have hit this historic milestone\nfor Archer. Obtaining the G-1 Certification Basis is a significant step forward\ntowards Archer\u2019s and the eVTOL industry\u2019s goal of changing how people will move\naround urban environments,\u201d said Archer\u2019s Head of Certification Eric Wright.\n\u201cThis is an exciting time to be a part of the aviation industry as we work to\nelectrify the skies, and we look forward to continuing to partner with the FAA\non revolutionizing aircraft transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe G-1 certification basis with the FAA is a pivotal\nbreakthrough and yet another proof point that Archer is at the forefront of\nrevolutionizing the future of urban transportation,\u201d said Scott Kirby, CEO of\nUnited Airlines. \u201cWe are excited to continue to collaborate with Archer to\nusher in a new era of sustainability, mobility, and exploration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCertification continues to be the shining light at the end\nof our design and development tunnel,\u201d said Brett Adcock, co-founder and co-CEO\nof Archer. \u201cWhile there is still significant work ahead of us, we now have a\nbasis agreed upon with the FAA that will allow us to better focus our efforts\non our goal of obtaining certification on an efficient timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur team is pragmatic and realistic about the steps towards\nlaunching our urban air mobility network. The aircraft is just one part of the\nbusiness Archer is building, and we will never lose sight of that final goal,\u201d\nsaid Adam Goldstein, co-founder and co-CEO of Archer. \u201cWe use accomplishments\nlike the G-1 certification basis to measure our success based on the broader\npicture of an established urban air mobility network and wide technology\nadoption. The future is certainly looking bright!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
