Eamonn Brennan has been appointed as an adviser to the board of Vertical Aerospace.
Brennan has previously served as director general of Eurocontrol, the organisation responsible for coordinating and managing air traffic control across Europe and the position of chief executive of the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). He is currently a non-executive director of Ryanair.
Brennan’s appointment comes as Vertical Aerospace progresses toward certification of its VX4 prototype, with the company noting that his understanding of regulatory frameworks and certification processes will be “invaluable”.
“I’ll be supporting Vertical in navigating the certification process and ensuring the VX4 becomes the safest aircraft in the market,” Brennan commented.
Vertical stated that it is actively collaborating with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to expand its flight envelope in preparation for wingborne flight.
