Four times a year, Drones Magazine, together with DRONE Industry Insights & Droniq, conduct a survey at www.drones-magazin.de/flash to learn more about the state of the industry.
This time, the topic is "What's the Drone Economy's take on U-Space?":
From January 26, 2023, so-called U-Spaces can be established in Europe. These specially designed geo-zones were conceived to ensure safe flight operations in areas with a potentially high volume of UAS. However, U-Spaces could also be created, for example, where military airspace makes this appear sensible. Or to safely regulate cross-border drone operations. However, while politicians and authorities in particular have high expectations of this topic in order to strengthen Germany as a location for UAS, the industry has mixed feelings about what could be in store for it. Increased safety in flight operations is one thing. More effort and higher costs are something else.
