Ensuring eVTOL safety and maintainability.

The single greatest hurdle for any new aircraft, especially a revolutionary one like an eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing), is achieving FAA Type Certification. Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK)’s aerospace customer was faced with this challenge during development of a completely new, FAA-compliant scheduled maintenance program for its novel eVTOL aircraft, adapting traditional aviation safety standards (MSG-3) to a revolutionary and unproven aircraft architecture.*

By leveraging HBK’s ReliaSoft MPC Plus software, the aerospace customer’s engineers where able to systematically perform MSG-3 analysis, manage complex system hierarchies and efficiently generate the evidence-based maintenance tasks, required for certification.

This streamlined the creation of an optimised and data-driven maintenance program, significantly accelerating the path to FAA type certification, ensuring passenger safety, and establishing a scalable, cost-effective operational framework.
