Verification, Not Intelligence, Is Aerospace's Real AI Constraint

Aerospace is racing to apply AI to software and autonomy, but verification and explainability capacity, not model quality, is what will set the pace.

Aviation Is Building a Second Certification Track for Autonomy

EASA's SAIL rating for Shield AI's V-BAT signals that autonomy and inference stacks now need their own assurance case, separate from the airframe.

Aviation's Assurance Gap Meets Autonomous AI

Aircraft certification and inspection regimes are built for deterministic systems, and the emerging autonomy stack is exposing what that model cannot see.

Certifying the Pilot, Not Just the Plane

Trainer aircraft are teaching pilots to fly alongside autonomous wingmen, but no certification standard yet defines competency in human-autonomy teaming.

The Chip in the Loop: Delivery Drones and the Assurance Gap

Wing's evaluation of a new Nvidia AI module for delivery drones exposes an unresolved question: who owns the airworthiness case when compute hardware is sourced, not certified.

The Certification Evidence Trail Is Aerospace's Real Autonomy Constraint

Regulators keep reopening the evidentiary file on aircraft long after certification, a pattern that should worry anyone betting on fast autonomy approvals.
