Aircraft Explorer →CAAC Type Certificate issued October 2023; Production Certificate issued 2024; standard airworthiness certificates issued for delivered aircraft. In March 2025 two operators received CAAC Air Operator Certificates authorizing paid human-carrying services at designated operating sites.
Aircraft Explorer →CAAC type-certification project in certification-basis definition. EHang reported discussions on special conditions, safety objectives and performance requirements, with test and avionics work continuing.
Aircraft Explorer →FAA Part 23 Type Certification application active. Electra reports that FAA closure of the G-1 Issue Paper on 10 Jul 2026 established the EL9 certification basis; full-scale EL9 flight testing has not yet begun.
Aircraft Explorer →ANAC remains primary certification authority. Updated Eve 100 airworthiness criteria were consulted on in July-August 2026; EASA validation was applied for in July. The engineering prototype began partial transition testing on 3 Aug 2026.
Aircraft Explorer →Heart describes the ES-36 (successor to the ES-30, unveiled 23 September 2026) as being developed for FAA Part 25 type certification. The X1 demonstrator flew in August 2026 under an Experimental-category special airworthiness certificate; that is not type certification.
Aircraft Explorer →Full-scale Cavorite X7 manufacturing and certification preparation are active, but PropulsionWatch has not identified a current regulator-issued certification basis or accepted type-certificate application.
Aircraft Explorer →FAA powered-lift Type Certification remains in progress. Joby’s June 2026 Form 10-Q says the first three stages are completed or substantially completed, Stage 4 Testing & Analysis is approximately 75% complete, and Stage 5 Show & Verify is progressing.
Aircraft Explorer →JCAB issued the SD-05 G-1 certification basis in February 2025; flight testing and certification planning continue for the current three-seat aircraft.
Aircraft Explorer →CAAC accepted the E20 Type Certificate application in October 2023. Initial certification and AEG reviews were reported, with piloted flight testing and compliance work continuing.
Aircraft Explorer →UK CAA-led Valo certification program with EASA co-operation; prototype transition-flight testing is active. Critical Design Review is expected to establish the certifiable design baseline before certification-conforming aircraft are built and tested.
Aircraft Explorer →Active CAAC type-certification project with full-scale flight-test activity reported; no issued Type Certificate identified.
Aircraft Explorer →VoloCity remains presented as on an EASA certification path following Diamond Aircraft's 2025 reorganization; no issued EASA Type Certificate identified.
