PAPER
Safety and Certification Considerations of eVTOL Aircraft
Read how safety challenges and considerations are discussed for the future certification of eVTOL.
Supporting aviation and non-aviation regulation:
Ebeni supports industry regulators to shape the aviation ecosystem and provides services which consider; management, strategic planning, policy development, guidance on standards, and supports the integration of aviation and non-aviation drone & AAM regulation.
Solutions for stakeholders for airspace integration:
Ebeni offers stakeholders effective solutions to build a safer and more secure business; we have a proven track record helping Manufacturers, Operators, Local Authorities and UTM Service Providers to safely and efficiently integrate into the aviation ecosystem.
Guiding effective solutions through complexity:
Ebeni helps customers explore complex problems in a structured way. We find effective solutions to design safe and efficient operations for drones and AAM. From feasibility and strategy to impact studies and planning, we offer deep and unique insights to move projects forward and evaluate the risks, from a technology, infrastructure, business, and human/social perspective.
Leading pathway for innovative technology:
Ebeni supports customers and coordinates with regulators in the certification process for complex VTOL and AAM systems. Our specialism includes distributed and integrated propulsion, advanced flight control systems, and includes the assessment for interpreting single failures of structures.
Lifecycle support:
Ebeni supports customers through the entire lifecycle; from concept to certification to optimising their ongoing performance through activities including assessment, assurance and certification of systems and operations.
Synergy and scaling with our partners:
With our partners, Cranfield University and Neuron Innovations, Ebeni has launched the National Drone Innovation Gateway, who aim to provide end-to-end support to the drone ecosystem in the UK, and beyond. This partnership, complemented with our strong relationships with Regulators and wider industry, uniquely places Ebeni in a position to support customers across the whole drone and AAM ecosystem from vision to operation and beyond.
Our capabilities
Ebeni’s high-calibre FAM team utilises its broad aviation capabilities such as operational and engineering safety, cybersecurity, regulatory expertise, assurance, safety management, software assurance, aerospace, design and certification and airworthiness to support customers involved in drone and AAM development through the entire lifecycle.

It’s Here! Secure by Design is now live!
MOD’s Secure by Design (SbD) is now live and that means a big change to the way things are done in Defence. Change can be unsettling, but we’ve got you covered…
Project BLUEPRINT: Revolutionising the Future with Safe Drone Integration
In the not-so-distant future, drones will become an integrated part of our lives, delivering vital medical supplies, monitoring air quality, and revolutionising various industries.
Five Nation Network Launched To Tackle Aviation Industry Biggest Challenges
A collaborative, five-nation network with aviation leaders has been launched in an attempt to tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges – including safely utilising new technology and supporting the industry’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Flying High in Air Traffic Management
Sindhura Lang is a Senior Safety Engineer at Ebeni. Aged 29, she joined the firm in 2015, straight out of University, where she studied Aerospace Engineering, and has developed her expertise in the Air Traffic Management (ATM) Business Unit.
Will it Work? Exploring the Benefits and Challenges of Implementing Secure by Design
Previously, we’ve discussed the key changes Secure by Design (SbD) will generate for Ministry of Defence (MoD) systems. Leading on from this, we explore in more detail what some of the benefits and challenges of implementing SbD are.
Principles that Protect: Unveiling the Path to Secure By Design Success
Secure by Design (SbD) is just around the corner for UK defence but many people are still developing their understanding of it. The Ebeni Cyber and Digital team have extensive knowledge in this area…
Key Secure by Design Changes to Look Out For… An Evolution or a Revolution?
Over the last 18 months, we have had numerous discussions, both internally and externally, regarding the implementation of SbD by the MoD and what that means for the delivery and management of cyber secure systems. We have even applied it in anger to systems and capability (even in-service capability) to road test the principles and approach.
