Why cybersecurity matters for emerging aircraft

Why Cybersecurity Matters

The rapid evolution of aviation technology introduces electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) systems, electric aircraft, and advanced drones.

DO-254 vs. DO-178C: The avionics certification battle slowing down eVTOLs

certification

The promise of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft revolutionizing urban mobility with safe, efficient air travel faces a formidable obstacle in 2025: avionics certification. Standards DO-178C and DO-254, established by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), govern the safety of software and hardware in aviation systems.
