In the past month, the N-20.3 Arbalète project has reached an important milestone. This progress, although not directly related to construction and assembly, is an essential prerequisite for the success of our project.
In close cooperation with the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (BAZL), it was decided to register our project under the EXPERIMENTAL category with the project number 2024-000657.
In accordance with the regulations on aircraft airworthiness valid in Switzerland, the EXPERIMENTAL subcategory includes aircraft specifically designed or modified for research, testing, or scientific purposes. This positive decision marks a pivotal milestone in our project, as it defines the path toward the certification of the N-20.3 and allows for the registration of our project in Switzerland.
Thanks to the support of the relevant authority in Bern, the N-20.3, in line with its name Arbalète, is granted the registration HB-ARB.
Currently, we are working together with the relevant departments of the BAZL to define the certification process for our project within the framework of the applicable regulations and international standards.
From now on, the project will be progressing on two levels – we will keep you updated on the developments.
