Embention becomes the first POA-Certified manufacturer specialized in autopilots for drones and eVTOLs, approved by AESA
Embention achieves a historic milestone, becoming the first manufacturer approved by AESA as a Production Organization Approval (POA) to build autopilots for drones and eVTOLs.
Embention, a leading developer of autopilot systems and safety-critical avionics for autonomous aerial vehicles—both unmanned (UAS) and manned (eVTOLs)—has been officially approved by the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) as a Production Organization Approval (POA), under approval number ES.21G.0038. This certification is granted under European Regulation 748/2012, Annex I (Part 21), which governs initial airworthiness and environmental protection of aviation products.
This milestone positions Embention as the first specialized manufacturer in the world certified under POA regulations in Europe to produce autopilots for drones and eVTOLs, reinforcing its leadership in the fast-growing autonomous aviation market.
Embention as a POA organization, a historic milestone
With this approval, Embention marks a turning point for the industry. The POA certification issued by AESA—within the regulatory framework of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)—confirms that the company meets the highest standards in quality, traceability, team qualification, and aerospace production process control.
This recognition strengthens the trust of both clients and institutions in Embention’s products and represents a key enabler for the widespread deployment of autonomous solutions across sectors such as defense, aerial logistics, emergency response, precision agriculture, and urban air mobility.
A solid step toward the future of autonomous flight
More than a regulatory formality, this approval is a strategic leap forward in the advancement of unmanned and autonomous aviation. It reflects years of innovation, dedication, and unwavering commitment to technical excellence. Embention continues to push the boundaries in developing safety-critical systems for drones and eVTOLs, paving the way for certified avionics products and the safe integration of autonomous technologies into shared airspace.
This milestone also supports the development of next-generation systems such as air taxis—essential for the evolution of urban air mobility and the broader future of autonomous transportation.
Laying the foundation for certified product manufacturing
With this certification, Embention becomes the first company specialized in autonomous aviation avionics capable of designing and manufacturing certified aerospace products for drones and eVTOLs under European regulatory standards. Beyond compliance, this accomplishment provides a strong foundation for a robust production ecosystem that supports safe, certified UAS operations.
Embention’s POA approval reaffirms its commitment to safety, reliability, and technical excellence, consolidating its leadership in an evolving aerospace market that demands the highest performance standards.
