Today the DOT’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published a notice of proposed airworthiness criteria for Wing Aviation LLC Hummingbird Unmanned Aircraft. The FAA notes that it’s existing airworthiness standards did not envision aircraft with no pilot in the flight deck and the technologies associated with that capability. This notice proposes airworthiness criteria (including cybersecurity requirements) to address those potential risks to ensure the aircraft remains reliable, controllable, safe, and airworthy. These requirements are very similar to those published in September for a different unmanned aircraft.
