Following Starburst Aerospace and Collinear Group’s recent webinar session, which offered a roadmap for the major phases of the certification journey and learnings from (Starburst's portfolio company) Exosonic, Inc.’s CEO & Co-Founder Norris Tie, Collinear put together a playbook for innovators navigating the FAA regulatory landscape.
The playbook dives deeper into the major phases of the certification journey and defining traits/challenges that come with each phase as well as the correlation between the steps of certification and TRL.
“In terms of the safety record of the airline industry, if we had the same accident rate today as we did in the 1970s, we would have one major airline disaster per week…”
“It’s a high bar to certify a product, but being aware of the certification steps arms you with important knowledge of [the needed] planning, funding, and partnering.” - Aaron Koopman, Collinear's Director of Airworthiness & Certification
Whether you’re an early-stage A&D entrepreneur looking to advance your technology and product development or seeking certification support, this playbook will be a valuable resource to add to your toolkit.

“Having a certified product is a very valuable intellectual property. People can copy your drawings, your design, your logos, your software, but no one can forge your type certificate for free. It protects your investment. It allows you to reap the benefits of your hard work and it’s a very public barrier to entry for your competitors.”
