Getting closer to urban and BVLOS operations –reflections from recent flight testing at Cardiff and Heathrow airports – WATCH AGAIN

Flare Bright has undertaken several trials under the UKRI Future Flight programme and the Connected Places Catapult Future of Air Mobility Accelerator. This webinar explains some of the learnings from flying its software-enhanced IMUs (giving GPS-free capability and redundancy) in various UK locations; and validating wind measurement predictions using its nanodrone. Flight tests have been undertaken both landside and airside at Heathrow and Cardiff Airports to measure wind. We will briefly talk about the results on understanding differences in wind measurements using our drone and anemometers, which we presented to the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences meeting in Stockholm in September last year.
