V tail? Might need a yaw damper.

According to AeroNews.net, “The G-1 Certification Basis specifies the aircraft’s airworthiness and Environmental Standards required for FAA Type Certification… the G-2 Issue Paper…certifies the means of compliance…” So, basically, it seems like they’ve applied for type certification, and the FAA has said “you’ll get your type certification if you can demonstrate these engineering requisites.”
A suggestion: Instead of flooding AvWeb’s “Aviation News” section with unflown airplane ideas, how about a separate section of “proposed airplanes”–“under consideration” or “under development” for these “press releases”?
Very few are ever certified–many never even make it to a prototype stage. These “proposed aircraft” don’t even meet the definition of “NEWS”–“Recently received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events”

I believe that AvWeb is categorizing all the ‘imaginary aircraft’ under the header of “eVTOLs/Urban Mobility”.
Wow, Someone figured out how to use the word “certification” four times in a three paragraph press release. That guy deserves a beer… don’t know what a “G-1 certification basis” is but I’m investing all my bitcoin in Archer Aviation 
I suppose it’s a good thing to release stuff like this that implies movement and progress so investors don’t get restless but this sounds a bit like “So far our paperwork has been in order. Next step - to document where we go with the paperwork from here.”
Seek and ye shall find: Type ‘Aerion’ into that Search box up top.
Fake money funding fake flying. Fabulous.
