Ready, steady, go! Gulf of Finland project to begin demonstrations in June
|
June sees the SESAR Gulf of Finland (GOF) U-space project begin a series of drone demos. These will demonstrate advanced drone operations including both manned and unmanned aircraft in shared airspace, with a view to accelerating the uptake of U-space in Europe, starting with low-level airspace. The very first demonstration – urban drone fleet operations with police intervention – will already take place in Helsinki on 4 June 2019.

SESAR members show again the feasibility of integrating large drones with manned traffic
|
Large drones or remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) have been used for many years by the military, but have been restricted to segregated airspace to protect their operations. With increasing demand for large civil RPAS, SESAR members are investigating how best to integrate these vehicles into non-segregated airspace alongside commercial traffic.
