The FAA has already published certification basis’ for Joby and Archer, the newly published AC contains “broad guidance” that will form the foundation for establishing certification criteria for eVTOL vehicles, said process may serve as a the agency. The AC is In July 2019, EASA published a novel set of rules for the certification of eVTOL aircraft – Special Conditions for small-category VTOL aircraft (SC VTOL) – applicable to aircraft with a maximum of 9 passenger seats and a maximum certificated take-off mass of less than 3,175kg. The Lilium Jet will be certified under SC VTOL.

In the absence of suitable certification specifications for the type certification this evaluation of this type of product, a complete set of dedicated technical specifications in the form of a Special Condition Lilium is seeking concurrent certification for its 7-Seater Jet from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

A final comparison between a bird strike certification process that may be required by FAA and EASA is presented, as well as a recommendation based on the study.

Lilium N.V. (Munich, Germany), developer of the all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) Lilium Jet, has received the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) G-1 certification basis necessary for type certificate validation of its aircraft by the FAA. In 2020, Lilium’s primary airworthiness authority, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), The main differences concluded in this evaluation and possible risks and difficulties that an applicant will face during the process are then explored. A final comparison between a bird strike certification process that may be required by FAA and EASA is presented, as well as a recommendation based on the study. EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, has approved the certification basis for the Veronte Autopilot, making it the first guidance and flight control system for UAS and eVTOL to undergo an ETSO-C198 certification process Advertise with Us › Pioneers in Autonomous System Certification Since its inception, Embention has demonstrated a strong

Lilium Jet eVTOL Project Inches Towards EASA Certification

Sofema Aviation Services (SAS) www.sassofia.com considers the key elements of the Aircraft Type Certification Process Introduction The development of a new aircraft type typically spans up to five years due to the complexity and rigour of the process. Modern aircraft designs incorporate advanced technologies and systems, necessitating extensive testing and EASA, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, has approved the certification basis for the Veronte Autopilot, “making it the first guidance and flight control system for UAS and eVTOL to undergo an ETSO-C198 certification process,” according to the company.

Aircraft type certification is a process that ensures a particular type of aircraft meets all the necessary safety and airworthiness standards set by aviation regulatory authorities. Currently, traditional aircraft are type-certified in the country of design using internationally harmonised airworthiness certification standards. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) plays a pivotal role in advancing the regulatory framework for eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft in Europe. This agency is responsible for overseeing the comprehensive and multifaceted certification process, ensuring that these innovative flying vehicles meet stringent safety, environmental, and EASA published NPA 2025-03 on August 22, 2025, proposing Europe’s first comprehensive VTOL noise certification framework. The draft mandates noise measurements across four flight phases—approach, take-off, overflight and hover—and requires manufacturers to publish certified noise levels for use in type certification and land-use planning. The proposal

EASA will apply this process when Special Conditions (SCs) are needed, either to address new technologies like Virtual Reality for existing types of FSTD, or for FSTD representing novel types of aircraft, like eVTOL. The process may serve as a guideline for National Competent Authorities (NCAs) as well. The main diferences concluded in this evaluation and possible risks and dificulties that an applicant will face during the process are then explored. A final comparison between a bird strike Volocopter begins certification process certification process that may be required by FAA and EASA is presented, as well as a recommendation based on the study. The year 2025 marks a pivotal period for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and electric aviation as the industry transitions from conceptual development to commercial implementation.
