Vertical Aerospace has announced that it has achieved AS9100 certification, the internationally recognised standard for how aerospace companies manage quality across their operations. Vertical believes it is the first eVTOL developer to achieve this certification.
“Awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI), and announced on World Quality Day, the certification confirms that Vertical’s quality management system across design and production meets the standards used by manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing,” said the company. “For airline customers and operating partners, accredited certification provides independent assurance in the processes, facilities, suppliers and teams behind Vertical’s future aircraft production and delivery. It also supports commercial opportunities where AS9100 certification is a qualification requirement.
Developed by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG), AS9100 builds on ISO 9001 with requirements specific to aviation, space and defence. Vertical achieved certification following a year-long programme to strengthen quality practices across the business, culminating in independent assessment by BSI.
