The Toronto aerospace company says the certificate defines the operating conditions and limitations for the next stage of its test programme. The MX1 has so far served as a foundational prototype for work on propulsion, controls, power systems and autonomous-flight features.
Untethered testing will expose the aircraft to a less controlled environment and generate flight data for later engineering decisions. The certificate authorizes a test step; it is not type certification or approval for passenger service.
