摘要：	The active development community surrounding electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL)aircraft has demonstrated potential to bring new technological capabilities to market, encouragingvisions of widespread and diverse Urban Air Mobility (UAM) applications. New capabilitiesalways come with safety considerations, some familiar and others less so. OEMs who intend toobtain FAA type certification for their eVTOL designs must plan for and execute sufficient safetyengineering processes to demonstrate that credible hazards associated with these eVTOL designsare adequately mitigated. This work provides an orientation for eVTOL stakeholders, especiallynew entrants and those in hybrid roles, to the safety and regulatory context for assuring eVTOLaircraft for UAM applications. We further present selections of functional hazard assessment(FHA) performed on a reference eVTOL concept, with process and decision narration. Theexercise allows exploration of several safety considerations specific to eVTOL systems anddemonstrates the FHA process together with negotiation of some of its options and variations.
