R&D case: Harmonising drone standards to support the EU regulatory process
Urban Air Mobility (UAM) promises to be the next mobility revolution, enabling faster, more efficient and sustainable transport solutions (such as flying taxis and other large drones) throughout urban areas. But there are a number of challenges that need to be overcome for UAM to become a reality. These include the organisation of the lower-level airspace, the scale-up of operations in a safe way, integration with ATM, the development of an architecture that can support operations and public acceptance.

R&D case: U-space airspace risk assessment
U-space, the air traffic control system for drones, is a set of new services relying on a high level of automation. It offers great potential to fly drones simultaneously in complex environments and is regarded as an enabler for Urban Air Mobility. U-space will provide safe integration with manned traffic. Before the establishment of U-space, EC regulation requires the airspace to be designated as “U-space Airspace” and an airspace risk assessment is required.

Seven demonstrations across Europe of safe integration of unmanned aircraft
In just a few years, urban air mobility will be a reality, letting people travel conveniently in a way more suited to cities and their residents. Integrating these big future drones safely into our urban airspace requires a lot of coordination and a great deal of testing. Within the next few months, the European project AMU-LED will carry out several demonstration flights in urban environments in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain.

Augmented Reality in the Aerodrome Tower
In recent years, Augmented Reality has become one of the major focus points of user interface development. With a rapid increase in computing power and developments in software and hardware applications, it has moved from theoretical approaches towards industry-wide application and mass production.

Blog: The relevance of public acceptance for drones
When a friend or relative asks me what I do, I usually just say that I work on drone research stuff. If they seem receptive, I may explain a little bit more: how drones will operate, what they will be used for and how they will soon be commonplace in of cities. This usually raises a lot of questions and confusion: what do we need drones for? Aren’t cities congested enough already? How will drones avoid birds? The list of questions goes on and on.
