Vertical Aerospace Announced That The Scope Of Its Design Organisation Approval (DOA) Has Been Expanded By The UK Civil Aviation Authority

The scope extension enables Vertical's own engineers to sign off compliance of an increasing number of technical areas, including further areas related to the flight control, avionics and electrical systems. Expanding Vertical's capacity to carry out certification activities streamlines the certification process.

This shows further confidence from the CAA that Vertical has the in-house capability to obtain certification for the VX4 aircraft to the highest aviation safety standards, with safety targets the same as those that large commercial airliners adhere to.
