Wings For AidA humanitarian internet - using cargo drone aircraft
Why do some of us receive parcels we need within 24 hours, and others do not? This seminar addresses a key issue in humanitarian logistics: the ‘last mile’ of 50-250km. Barry Koperberg, founder and GM of Wings For Aid, outlines how drone technology, partnership and persistence power up a ‘humanitarian internet’ for package delivery. In action shortly: a 650kg aircraft in a BVLOS circuit, to drop 20kg self-landing boxes. Just where they are most needed.

Modini LimitedRealising the potential of BVLOS drones – Regulation, innovation, use-case.
Delivering a regular BVLOS operation in UK airspace with large (100+kg) UAS is a case-by-case challenge. This seminar will explore our experience of delivering a large VTOL UAS platform in UK Airspace. We will offer a real-world view on the challenges we faced, how we overcame the initial barriers to entry, and how some of the most challenging issues faced today may be solved tomorrow.
