Faa Study Reveals Hurricane Force Levels Of Evtol Downwash And Outwash Electric air taxis could generate downwash equivalent to a hurricane force wind and which "surpass most of the air velocity safety thresholds" in guidance, according to research caried out by the. A federal aviation administration (faa) study, published in late december 2024, has highlighted the risks of downwash and outwash (dwow) generated by evtols at vertiports – revealing that all three pre production prototypes tested generated hurricane force winds at 82ft from the takeoff and landing centre.
Urban Air Port Founder Pitches Solution To Evtol Downwash Outwash The airflow generated from the aircraft’s rotors propellers during takeoff and landing, known as downwash and outwash (dwow), can pose significant risks to people and property in the vicinity of aircraft operations. A new faa report looking at various evtol prototypes shows that when they take off and land they have a downwash from rotors equivalent to hurricane force wind. Joby’s prototype evtol conducting downwash and outwash testing with the faa in august 2023. the anemometers used to record outwash velocities were arranged in a cross based on the researchers’ best estimates of where the highest velocities would be found. when asked for comment, joby did not directly address these criticisms. To that end, the faa, as part of its time wasting certification efforts on this particular aerospace dead end, tested three prototypes from evtol startups for their downwash and outwash velocities.

Recent federal aviation administration research has revealed significant safety concerns regarding electric vertical take off and landing (evtol) aircraft operations. according to their december 2024 report “electric vertical take off and landing (evtol) downwash and outwash survey,” these aircraft can generate downwash and outwash (dwow) forces equivalent to hurricane force winds.
