ENAC – Ente Nazionale per l’Aviazione Civile has approved the extension of the Rome Fiumicino airport regulatory sandbox to additional airport areas (Area 2 – Portuense and Area 3 – SolarFarm), which will industry partner Urban V to test more complex scenarios in a real-world airport environment.
According to an ENAC Linkedin post, translated by googletranslate:
“The aim of the project is to experiment, safely and with an incremental approach, increasingly complex operational scenarios, in a real environment. This initiative will actively contribute to the development of operations with UAS, while ensuring the safe integration of drone technology within airport operations, promoting smart, integrated and efficient solutions, in line with the AAM National Strategic Plan (2021-2030) for the development of MobilitàAereaAvanzata in Italy, drawn up by ENAC.
“With the establishment of the Pianabella sandbox, the Authority reaffirms its commitment to the research and development of innovative air mobile and sustainability contributing to the growth of an evolved and synergistic ecosystem that aims to redefine the future of civil aviation.”
