Regulators Won’t Cut Corners When Certifying New eVTOL Aircraft - FutureFlight Explainer

[@Andre-wz6uk]

Thanks for this very enlightening and insightful video!

[@cmax4692]

Right on lots of points. New aircraft type, new technology, new build techniques, new air traffic control requirements, new systems to mitigate weather hazards, new pilot competency and maintenance requirements, etc... It's all a big load so expect a long and difficult road to initial commercial OPS. 2025 is likely crazy and public acceptance is not automatic.

I have not seen a single one of these upscaled toys display any defense for flying in icing conditions.

[@Q_Channel1]

Why should they? They are likely only going to be used in day/night VFR-only in the fledgling stage.

[@savagecub]

@@Q_Channel1 “Only” in day vfr ???? Why bother then ? If they can’t be used anytime (like your car) people won’t embrace them.

[@Q_Channel1]

@@savagecub? I said day and night?

[@Stavic07]

Most of them are not there yet. They are certifying under part 23 so a lot of wiggle room for what is required and what not. Probably it will begin with day VFR operation

[@jayflemingvideos]

@@savagecub all of the defenses (boots, heated props, heated windscreens) as well as extra passenger comfort require extra power, therefore more weight or less range. The business models don't lend themselves to flying in icing conditions.

Stop shaming 3D models! 😂

Do you two know each other? xD

11:22 very well said, "non-deterministic software that is built through machine learning ... there is no specific expert that can point what one line of code is doing" I'm stealing this sentence!

[@smithrhod]

Interesting discussion. These aircraft/companies may get certified, but which set of capabilities make business sense? It would be great to see an analysis of the various business models these companies and their customers are planning. Are they better than existing solutions?

[@AINvideo]

Stay tuned, we'll have a video soon about the Operating Models. Thanks for watching!

@@AINvideo zero emissions future is the goal. Current modes of transportation are putting massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.now we have find ways to sequester the greenhouse gases we’ve already been depositing. . Carbon capture storage underground. Bottom line we can’t continue business as usual.

All of them seem to be pushing the “skip the traffic of the cities to get to locations faster” line. IE from Manhattan to jfk in 8 mins

[@jayflemingvideos]

@@coralreef909 the projected eVTOL market isn't going to curb greenhouse gases by any measurable amount.

[@williamzk9083]

The uBer elevate white paper has the information you seek.

[@karlossargeant3872]

eVTOL Copters is the next move for Air Taxis moving across from point to point areas which will help those going by cars,trains & buses in Big Cities and Countries Like South America so I hope to fly on them soon in the near future and learn how much they costs too which is important to learn about awesome Video!!!!

[@igor_misic]

knowing the topic, I hope they will take some highly skilled avionics engineers to help to bring the process to avionics standard. They will even need to take some automotive experts since ASIL and DAL are almost the same.

[@jackiezhang2907]

Joby seems to be leading the certification process and then everyone else is projecting they can be ready as well in the same year

[@TheDuckAndRogerTheHorse]

Isn't the self programming algorithm leaving breadcrumbs as to what its doing? If not then it should be programmed to for a test version.

[@faluffel]

Not in meaningful ways. The code itself are not meaningful functions and if/else statements with nice function and variable names. Eg. in neural networks you can explain what you are doing to train it, eg. show the training sets when training the networks through backpropegatation, but if you were to read the code it is meaningless set of numbers in a meaningless set of neurons.

[@TheDuckAndRogerTheHorse]

@@faluffel That’s very interesting! In humans we can monitor brain function and to some degree know ourselves well enough to be able to bear witness to what happened in an incident. Is there anything analogous to that?

Nobody knows what to do with the Samsung Galaxy S9 batteries.

[@peceed]

Believe me, good AI is much safer than millions of code written by code monkeys, neural network are much more resistant to "unexpected conditions". And you need treat neural weights as DATA, not as CODE. It is efficient an robust representation of expected behaviour.

[@bobadingo]

These designs are completely illogical because the helicopter already exist! so therefore you cannot reinvent the helicopter.. .
