What believers are saying

Rapita Systems and Avionyx partner on avionics certification. By Web Team 26th February 2026 2 Mins Read UK-based software verification tools provider Rapita Systems has partnered with Avionyx, a Joby Aviation-owned aerospace engineering company based in Costa Rica, to accelerate avionics software certification for customers in the Americas. The collaboration will combine Rapita's verification tools with Avionyx's 35 years of engineering expertise to support projects requiring certification to Design Assurance Level A (DAL A) under DO-178C, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standard for airborne software. The partnership aims to reduce the time and cost associated with software compliance testing, which can take years and requires specialized expertise that is in short supply. Jamie Ayre, chief commercial officer at Rapita Systems, said, "Rapita and Avionyx joining forces is a logical union given our shared focus on supporting high-criticality aerospace projects and commitment to solving the industry's hardest challenges." The partnership will also address challenges related to certifying multicore processors in modern aircraft. Rapita Systems' MACH178 workflows combined with Avionyx's engineering experience will provide a methodology for satisfying AC 20-193 objectives, the FAA's guidance on multicore processor certification. Tom Ferrell, general manager at Avionyx, said, "This collaboration enables Avionyx to offer our customers a faster, more efficient path to certification, even for the most demanding DAL A and multi-core projects." 25th February 2026 5 Mins Read 24th February 2026 2 Mins Read
