End State Solutions and Near Space Corp have entered an agreement to provide aerospace companies a single-source for a full suite of flight testing and Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) certification services. Unmanned, manned and optionally piloted aircraft developers can obtain speed-to-market through the leadership and experience the companies provide.

End State Solutions advances new aerospace technology through certification. NSC operates the FAA designated Tillamook Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Test Range which provides experienced safety planning, airspace deconfliction and complex test operations over diverse terrain. The combined services enable aircraft developers to focus on their product rather than the complexities of test and certification.

"Our agreement provides customers an efficient path to market entry," said Charlton Evans, CEO of End State Solutions. He added, "when the certification strategy is worked in parallel with aircraft test and development, we all finish certification faster."

The FAA requires aerospace companies to prove their safety through a non-prescriptive set of rules, regulations and data packages and will partner with them to work through a certification that results in a safe, reliable product.

"With our 25 plus years of operating UAS in the national airspace system, we have built a reputation with the FAA for safe operations with high complexity, and pioneered UAS flights in the NAS that we continue to build on," said Kevin Tucker, president of NSC.

First universal UAV optimized for both payload and distance shows best-in-class results
London, UK (SPX) Apr 09, 2021
The EU-manufactured FIXAR drone is the world's first industrial UAV to outperform other models in its class in both payload capacity and distance coverage. The hybrid patented design combines the best elements of drones on the market - it provides the take-off and landing maneuverability of multirotor drones, and the increased payload and endurance of fixed-wing drones. Moreover, a plug-and-play payload module design allows for various use cases. Those range from mapping and surveying to last-mile ... read more
