In the future, drones will deliver parcels to your home and assist in farming and construction. These are some of the applications where developments will be rapid once European ground rules and safe airspace practices (U-space) are established for unmanned aircraft systems and future aircraft. Advancements in this field are driven, for instance, by the need to reduce emissions from transport and logistics and by the opportunities offered by digitalisation.
